Recently I upgraded this New York Central boxcar that I built from an O-scale Intermountain kit in 1992. It now has new roof walks, uncoupling levers, flexible brake hoses, brass sill steps, and placards. For thirty years its only weathering was a little Dullcote. This time I weathered it more heavily with Tamiya acrylics, AIM powders, and Pro Art colored pencils.Attachments:

Wow. That model looks great! I really like the color tone achieved on the running board.

Richard that is a great looking model. I agree with Eric regarding the running boards.
How did you achieve that perfect weathered wood look?
