Galvanized metal is very shiny when new, but quickly oxidizes to a
light gray, then darker gray as it ages.

Re: Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Vol. 19
I have a color photo of a C&NW Viking roofed box car and it
appears that the roof was unpainted galvanized metal but has
gradually oxidized (rusted). There appears to be no paint on
the APEX running

Enjoy.

Same here, plus I sharpen the toothpick with a few licks from a flat file.

Re: Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Vol. 19
Mark and Tony,
The Viking roofs on the CNW emergency box cars were indeed galvanized.
