Searching For Accurail 4750 prototypes
Author: jkchubbes

I picked up these Accurail kits at the Bakersfield train show with intentions of patching them up as they would be found in a post-2000 era.  So far all I can find is the Big 6 Coop as a CP patch.  Does anyone have any photographic evidence of the Albert City or Tabor cars patched in the modern era?  I recall seeing Albert City Elevator on IC&E cars but the font was smaller.

Buy first, check later?  I've been guilty of that too.

On RailCarPhoto's, the only Tabor I could find were TLCX PS 4740 covered hoppers.

I can't speak to any patch jobs but the reporting marks and car numbers line up with information posted on the MFCL list at io.groups in association with a large groups of PS builder's photos that James Kinkaid posted. Unfortunately, it does not look like the photos have been transferred from the old yahoo groups site where they were originally posted. 
All are Pullman Standard PS2 4750 CF cars:
RRRX 3016 Series 3001-3099 Albert City
CRDX 6351 Series 6350-6449 Tabor
NAHX 477387 Series 477359-477398 Big 6 Co-op
