Loveably weird
I must have done this at least 15 years ago. I had decided, while putting down track willy-nilly on the Plywood Central I had in the basement of our last house, to get into weathering cars. I had absolutely no idea of what I was doing, but that has never been known to stop me in the past. So I grabbed a boxcar and went at it. At the time I didn't even know acrylic paints existed, so I used what I thought everyone else used: Testors enamel paints in the tiny little bottles. I just sort of splotched it on there wherever I thought some should go. It's not pretty, but it's my first time. I may doctor it up a bit later on, but for now it's on the layout just like it is.

Side 2:
I don't know what brand of car it is. The under-frame is a 1 piece metal casting with the brake details cast on. I gave it metal wheels and Kadee #5 couplers. It may be 1/2 oz. light, but I'm not going to worry about that.
It's ugly, but it's special. Kind of like me.
