Tidewater Southern cattle ops

I revised this old model that to mix in with WP and Sacramento Northern stockcars. The TS and the SN never owned any as far as I know but it was a day's entertainment to do this one up. I'll weather it soon.

Thanks. That grass gets a lot of fertilizer there.

The grass tween the rails solved a problem. When I uncouple cars at the loading ramp they had a tendency to follow the loco when backing up. Modern trucks are really too free rolling! So the coupler 'air hose' gets lightly snagged to hold the cars back a little.
 
Thanks.

One thing I've noticed about modern dry transfers is that they are really very white. I have to overspray with the Floquil Boxcar red to tame them down. I'd like to find a better method to age and 'dinge' them up.
