I’m stating to build up my Chessie System Rolling stock I don’t know how many I’ll get done but here’s a start with this Hopper
Oooooooooo chessie system!!!! Very nicely done!
Sure can. I got 3 Exactrail on consignment from Overland hobbies for $23 each if I remember right. The Yellow was too bright so I fixed that with some weathering powders, airbrushed mud ,grimy black then dullcoat.Thanks. I think I’m going to keep mine new looking. I would like to see a pic of your you can post it here if you want
One thing I could never find reference on or see pics was which cars had blue bottoms and which was yellow bottoms. I have a couple cars that may or may not be correct.
Some say the C&O and the B&O were blue and the WM was yellow. Some say it's the car type but can't find reliable info.
For me it's mostly curiosity, I'm not painting the bottom of a car to make it right.I seen the same thing. My micro scale decals came with a reference sheet with the blue bottoms I can post it here if you need it. I personally don’t like the blue bottoms so accurate or not mine won’t be painted that way
