| CNJ PiggyBack Flat Car Renumbering |
 |
 |
 |
| A single CNJ piggyback trailer flat, being pulled by a PRR 44 tonner, passes Kirwood Station.. Photo taken July 2003. |
| DDuring the summer of 2003 I purchased one of those Aristo ugly "Piggyback flats" in CNJ colors.. Why you ask?? Well, there just isn't a lot of CNJ stuff out there..(and it's a weird looking car... & I like weird ) |
| In January 2004, TrainWorld sent out an email offering a 5% additional discount on phone orders and, I notice (in their ad in GR) the closeout pricing on these cars...I called and got their LAST CNJ Piggyback. The problem is that I would/will run them together and the trailer numbers really are noticeable AND the duplicate car would stick out.. |
I found that these labels "fit the bill" for making the number change easy. |
| I used automobile brake fluid to remove the orginal numbers (see my DOODLEBUG section on the Site Map) I matched the blue use for the numbers and printed new ones for the trailers on my HP 3220 inkjet printer.. |
| OLD NUMBER NEW NUMBER |
| Top photo..Framed in orange, is how it arrived. (minus kadee's and metal wheels) Next 2 photos.. The re-numbered trailers are switched so all Wharton & Northern are on 1 flat and the Central RR of Penn. are on another. |

| The dusty, but not that dirty twins, wait on a siding for pick up. |
