It's funny how rarely people model SHINY BRAND NEW freight cars . . .
Watching the lines in and around Pullman Standard's Hammond plant, it was fairly common to see a cut of shiny brand new freight cars. But like a lot of things, shine doesn't scale down well. It's difficult enough to photograph a 1:1 piece of rolling stock that has a shine on it, even more so for a model. Definitely something to be uses sparingly.
