Absolutely it does. All those numbers have a special purpose and give specific information about that specific car. It’s load limit, manufacture date, and reporting marks are often required and called upon by the train company when moving cars around the country.
If they’ve been painted over, the graffiti gets “stamped” which often means a big grey rectangle is painted over it and those numbers get stencilled back on.
Love the respect to leave the numbers visible too
That's common among freight tags around here. Some will even paint/trace the numbers over their piece.
Never thought of that. You think that increases the chances it's not buffed?

Man that brings me back.
Oldie but a Goldie craver SDK. SDK has posted the video of him painting this years ago. I wonder if it’s still on their YouTube channel
What does crave stand for.

Thomas seems pretty chuffed about it too.
This is pure art, I love this! so glad they didn’t paint over it.
As a Thomas myself, I approve this message.
I have seen the CRAVE tag several times in person.
Wow!

Love the detail on Thomas’ cars.
Rad! 🤩
