I don’t think ladder scuffs are overdoing it, and paint failure on roofs depends upon type of roof and era. Scuffs are visible in black and white photos of most single sheathed boxcars that have

I hope my cars look half as good when I eventually get around to weathering them. I’m putting the final part on the RCW 6.5k X-3 tank car tonight, then it’s ready for priming. I’ve decided it

Interestingly the truck in the foreground is a Milk truck. Wonder what it is being loaded with? -Rob

I'm puzzled though 2022 -1958 doesn't equal 71, so where the heck did that come from? That would be 1951... BTW, the NEW date on the car is 1946, so that isn't it. I did tell the seller that 1958 cu

Great model Charlie! I have one of these (from an undec. kit) to build. I'll use this image as a reference when I paint and weather mine. Scott Haycock

Another good-looking car, Charlie! You really keep them coming. Tony
