The cars retain their UP paint jobs, but to match prototype weathering patterns we have faded the body color like to represent the chalking paint of the prototypes, and we have included a faded Union Pacific shield in the center of the car (well, three out of the 4 car numbers have them – one has a patched out shield per prototype practice). We also have added the conspicuity stripe patterns that are found on the real cars. We call these cars “Version 4” Trinity Pullman-Design 4750s, and they continue with the Trinity variations found on earlier prototypes, notably the changeover in jacking pad design to one that is less long horizontally, and with an oval-shaped attachment hole in the center. These Trinity 4750s include the “bolt on” outlet gate design that was found on some of the Trinity 4750 prototypes, however they do not include shaker brackets on the outlet bays! Up on the roof of the cars you will find unpainted galvanized “slope up” US Morton-design running boards which also include end supports, and the galvanized steel trough hatches that Trinity applied are replicated on our model. Every railroad had different hatches, and UP is no exception. The ends of the cars include a truck-brake system design, Universal 9300 brake housing, tube-style defect card holder, and straight-handle coupler lift bars, all of which are accurately modeled on our Tangent replicas. Underneath the cars, the centersill dividers have access holes in them like they should. On the side of the cars, the UP requested AEI tag that was angled downward remains on the carbody. All 4 cars have slight variations in their patch outs.
