Not much pink left......

on this one. Caught this car in the yard waiting for the steel gang to clear up. I took this pick primarily for anybody doing heavy weathering. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of the top. The FURX reporting marks look almost as weathered as the West Central. Build date, 2-80

37 years of hard use outdoors can do that.

From the title I thought this was about the Roger Waters tour! LoL

That car sure has the daylights beaten out of it. Thanks for sharing.

Modeling that car would definitely be an extreme weathering challenge. You'll need a buttload of powders and chalks for that one.

Most of my ore cars that are weathered are rust buckets. They have seen hard use and never been washed, other than standing in the rain and snow. I like lightly weathered rolling stock, but tend to be on the heavy side when weathering.



Actual "weathered" cars.

If they were fried fish, they would be described as, with thick batter please.

A beat up ALCO pushing two weathered ore cars. The ore cars started out as undecorated, but were weathered, added metal wheels and KD couplers, installed a Chooch ore load and covered the load with Woodland Scenics ore. The weathering is chalk from AIM.
