The original 1400 series with fishbelly centers, neat cars used to haul Ballantine Beer - does anyone know what color the roofs and ends were on these? Unlike later more modern 14000 series which was all orange these have bxcr red ends and possibly roofs but again can't tell from my resources which are all either ground level mug shots or old walther's decal/lettering guide(notoriously unreliable, says ends are green?)
I'm doing a serious kitbash in 'O" for one of these and I can't stand the notion of finishing it with bogus colored ends/roof.
BTW Craig Bossler's excellent color guide indicates red ends but no roof info, furthermore I don't trust color film repro on some of the older photos (same book has a couple shots of Cornell Red LV cars looking like they're in SP scarlet, I have my doubts..)
TIA
