My freight car regulations document says: 1989 CAPY data stencil no longer required Chatfield, D. Scott The name is the person the info came from. I will point out, so the question can be asked again in a couple of weeks, that the SYSX car pictured upthread is good for no sooner than mid-80s. Maybe later. It is missing the CAPY line. No one seems to be able to agree when this line was deemed redundant and no longer required, I have seen it stated 1985 all the way up to 1994. I’m personally leaning towards 1985-ish because there are plenty of 1990 CSX repaints floating around that didn’t have a CAPY line when they came out of the shop. So, I repeat, the SYSX is theoretically not good for earlier than circa 1985 as pictured.

My freight car regulations document says: 1989 CAPY data stencil no longer required Chatfield, D. Scott The name is the person the info came from. Given the recent questions about tank cars and the dates of the cars on this thread, I thought I'd look a little further into this. I just spent a few minutes picking through my collection, didn't search the entire lot by no means, not even a sizeable fraction of it, and in fairly short order I found examples of new cars and repaints prior to 1989 with the CAPY line omitted: Tangent CSX 4740, five different roadnumbers: June 1988 repaint. Genesis GATX 45374 SHN 20K gallon tank car: Dec 1986 repaint. Atlas ADM Corn Syrup tank, early ADM scheme: Aug 86 built date. Walthers Procor 23K Funnel Flow, Procor white: Nov 87 built date. Four different roadnumbers. Tangent 60' GSC BN bulkhead flatcar: Nov 88 repaint. Genesis GATX SHN 20k tank car, Service Driven: Sep 86 repaint. That's for starters. I'm sure I could find more if I found that many, that quickly. I knew I'd seen the cutoff written up as "1985" somewhere, I just couldn't remember exactly where. It is on page 89 of the Jeff Wilson-penned Kalmbach book on freight cars. Given the results of my informal search posted above, I'm inclined to go along with it...

Then, by your reasoning, it appears that someone who ordered direct on the last day possible should be ahead in line compared to someone who ordered their item through a hobby shop on the first day of announcement.
I agree you should get "some extra consideration", but not at the expense of someone who committed to purchase months ahead of you.
