55-Ton Wood Side Twin Hopper - Southern (Oxide)

There was only one discrepancy. The one I received is black. You can order the same model in black. Accurail casts the cars in black plastic. Black cars do not get painted. Oxide, mineral red, etc. is painted over the black plastic for these other colors. It could be that if Accurail does not have the color you ordered, they send you black instead. Indeed, for undecorated cars, they specify that colors may vary--they know that people will probably paint it themselves anyway. The black car I received is beautiful. It has a nice 'old fashioned' touch. I love the detail in the rough wood plank siding.
