First attempt at custom box car

[JJCreatorOfWorlds]

I tried out painting a box car for the first time. I'm much more used to making scenery and props for cosplay and D&D so am looking for some feedback. I plan on spending more time on the identification numbers as that seems to be the thing im missing most from a normal train car.

What do you all think? Any feedback would be appreciated. I would love to look into selling custom train cars at some point if that's something people would potentially be interested in.

Great work. If your going to add the car number, weight, cap. it would be on the left of the car. Put your custom work on the right. Like this CSX car for example. The logo is on the right and car number and data is on the left.

Lionel sells Personalized cars. I would think there is a market for that sort of thing.

Splendid work and I wish you the best!

Quite nice - - RL must have you as a micro-surgeon or a putter-together-of-microchips.

Always nice to see fellow "Snow-tans" here, though you must be pretty far north from me in the cities where we have no snow and I played golf last week!
