Minor correction to my Tichy B-50-12 Supply Car covered in Modeling SP Supply Train (Part 3) - Boxcars, I put the wrong number on it last year! So a quick patch of FCR and new "MW2767" set of decals applied to the car.

After reviewing the This Is My Railroad 1946 - Steam Version, I also need to be adding an SP standard herald in the upper right diagonal area and replace the 6ft door with the man-door plug.

I need to finish up a few other details on the car still, like installing the floor weight. Then getting into the corner stirrup steps, B-end brake rigging on the end of the car, and roof lateral corner grabs..
In Closing - Edited...
So this won't be the last time I do an update on the 2767 as I'm working on the new man-door plugs for both the Tichy car and also the Accurail boxcars.

- BTW, Now that Ken Harrison's SPMW book came out, the 2676 is wrong decalling, I crosschecked the original car number, build dates, builder, etc... and know this is the wrong car number... AGAIN! (Shakes head in disbelief for second time in 3 weeks.)
The 2767 is actually a B-50-11. I will have to redecal this car yet a 3rd time to either 3931 or 3932, which were both retired (USRA) B-50-12s. Both cars were assigned to Supply Service on 17 Sept, 1945 at Bayshore and lasted until July 31, 1953 and April 1949 respectively. Given the longer service life of the 3931, I'll probably choose that car and head back to the repatching booth yet again.
This error was caused by a typo on the 1956 Roster, but the car number should have given it away, as 26240 is 120 car numbers too low for the B-50-12s, which started at 26360. So, I guess the Part 8B blog will be on me changing the car number yet again and installing the new 3d printed OwlMtModels 4077 Supply Man-door set to the model, like on the SPMW 2681.
