That being said, the information on the side of the car was the actual freight capacity etc of the real freight car. Build date and the "new" dates were actually maintenance dates that the freight yard maintenance crews would stencil onto the freight cars. Data displayed near the reporting marks refers to the weight of a freight car and its contents. The black rectangular area on freight cars is known as the consolidated stencil. It's here that maintenance information on the air-brake system and journal bearings, and the built-date, must be displayed. This area has been simplified and reduced in size in recent years, and many cars' stencils are in the older format. Accompanying the light weight marking "LT WT" is a date indicating when the railroad or owner last verified the car's weight. The letters for this mark are not always reporting marks; sometimes a location code is used. NEW and a date indicates that the weight shown is the car's as-built weight, and that it hasn't been field-checked since. The "Consolidated Stencil" was imposed by the F.R.A. {Federal Railroad Administration founded in 1966} as a railroad regulation in 1974, so all rolling freight was required to have a whole list of information stenciled onto the cars; some railroads had been doing this in an informal manner prior to 1974.A designation of BLT 7-67 would mean the car was built in July 1967. When a car is rebuilt, REBLT with month and year **Railroad Equipment Kurtz Kraft Model Trains was manufactured over 50 years ago, and I think the company has been out of business for many years Kurtz-Kraft lasted at LEAST into the late 90's, there is a reference in a 1997 magazine that they were one of the sponsors of a Boy Scout railroad merit badge program.
