You say you used a "decal remover"? What would that be? Thanks, another great model, Clark

Hi John, According to the RI diagram sheet this group of 1200 B2 boxcars, 157500-158699, built by ACF in 1925 had two different roofs, divided in half 157500 – 158099 Murphy

Hi Eric Thanks. I agree with you on this. I have used powders as well without a final seal. The dull coat seems to have enough tooth to hold it on my models as well. Again well done Dave

John, According to Ted Culotta's Essential Freight Car article in June 2006 RMC the cars originally had Hutchins Dry Lading roof's. Don Burn

Folks, I'm slightly amused by this whole discussion. With some frequency, I slice and dice pieces of decals, including Ted's decals, to make the reweight dates and other data I need. On my recent SnT

Thanks for your comments, Dave. The airbrush is not used in additional weathering steps. Some cars might receive a wash before I apply Pan Pastels and the pencil highlights. I do not seal the

Here’s two images of the same X-31a boxcar showing some interesting weathering patterns on the roof panels. Are the darker gray areas black roof cement with the PRR Freight car paint over the top of

Hi Gentlemen, Does anyone know what kind of roof this box car has (see attached photo)? Thanks, John Golden

Hi Eric Super weathering ! After air brushing the tint/flat coat,aside from the panpastles, and colored pencil work did you apply any more air brush weathering? Also did you seal the

Ken, Like Nelson, I rely on magnification and light. I use an optivisor for most work now but for white decals, I need something stronger and for less than the cost of additional optivisor lenses I

I'm coming in late, but I too would read that as an EASY. As to men on the car tops passing signals, worked great on curves. If the man was ten cars back he was easily seen from the cab. A comment

Very nice looking car, Charlie. You’re braver than I am, I went with the post-1950 paint scheme, doing away with hand painting all the hardware. After making color chips from several Tru Color
