Page 8 of the NYC Color Guide has a photo of a heavyweight RPO from the Pressed Steel Car Co. order of 1911. It is a 60' car, painted (what looks like to me) very dark gray body with black/dull/soot roof. Graphics are white sans serif (not anywhere CLOSE to what Athearn passes off as "New York Central"). Grabs appear to be same as body color. Trucks are two axle, not three-axle Pullman trucks like Athearn provides.
