With the characteristic “PPG Carhide Hot Spray Gray” carbody color with large spelled out “Great Northern” and distinctive “Rocky” herald, these cars are offered in three individual road numbers, allowing the modeler faithful groupings of cars. These cars operated throughout the GN system and points beyond; in various grain services, and remained in service for Burlington Northern nationwide into the early 1990's when they were all repainted into BN paint.
