Description
Railroad Short Name: AOK
AOK “ex-CNW Restencil” 2006+ continues our tradition of gorgeous modern paint patches and restencils. These ex-C&NW cars are examples whose car lease was not renewed by UP, obtained by Greenbrier Leasing, and leased back to various railroads with AOK (Arkansas & Oklahoma Railroad) reporting marks. We chose three different prototype cars from the C&NW’s March 1981 build group. These cars feature all that wonderful C&NW-specific detailing, along with Gravac Combo outlet gates. The models are painted in a more “faded” version of the C&NW green have gray roof hatches and “weathered metal” running boards where the green paint has long since worn off. Each one of the cars follows photo-specific lettering placement, so the patches and AOK restencils differ on each SKU. Little details pop on these AOK cars: Notice the Stucki snubbers are gone from the 100-ton trucks by 2006, AEI tags are mounted on each car (2 different styles of tags for AOK!), AOK reporting marks and car numbers on the trucks, and YES each car number has its own version of faded and peeling C&NW logos.
