Illinois Central Gulf Pullman Standard 4750 Covered Hopper (Early Thin Lettering) 1972+
Born on August 10th, 1972, the ICG wasted no time and continued receiving the August IC order of 300 Pullman Standard 4750 covered hoppers. The first 50 covered hoppers came painted in the IC Split Rail Orange. The rest would begin receiving the "New" ICG image. These first ICG cars featured a "thinner" font for the ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF lettering than what would become standard in another year.
These 250 4750 cu.ft. covered hoppers, numbered 765350-765599, hold the distinction of being the first new cars delivered to the ICG.
These hoppers lasted through the ICG era, and can still be seen today. This decal set includes all of the data you need to decal one car. It is designed to be used with the HO Intermountain PS 4750 Covered Hopper.
An additional photo of this series can be found in the IC/GM&O Color Guide by James Kinkaid. (Published by Morning Sun).
A detailed lettering diagram is included. This set is printed in black and white.
Cost: $6.00 per set.
