Almost, but it was a grey hopper, with blue sky background and the stork took up 3/4's of the sides, the sky wasn't that promenent, there is a post on it on our sister forum, I'll have to dig up the link for ya.Does it look like this? This is one I put on a cylindrical hopper in my collection of grafittoed cars.

Anyways, it's beautiful out today so I decided to take some pictures of my motive power outside, they look better in the sun anyways. Here's the slideshow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK7q-50p0g8
I thought that at first, too. But to make the clearance and connect to the road ramp I had to make it like that. I have seen a few roads that approach that grade on a bridge, so I'm not that far off from prototype. In person it's not that bad.

Crandell The top pic is brilliant, love the telephoto view.

Off the rails once again after some battle damage and rust effects with the two pack instant rust, it will get progressively darker as the weeks go on, the iron part of the set had set solid, it took some hot water and a lot of stiring to get it right

Hadn't thought of the fact that the camera can exaggerate the grade.

As usual a lot of great work again this week gentlemen!!! Here's the rest of my work for this week.
JTEX has acquired 2 C44-9W's. They've been patched and are back on the road.
JTEX also put 4 SD40-2's back on the road leased out to different railroads needing power.
3 patched Geeps, 2 back into service, #3428 is retired, parts only.
And another Geep CNW patched for the UP.

A couple of you have asked how I do so many every week. Here's a couple picture of next weeks projects. They are painted, some needing gloss-coat before decals.
A couple of switchers, both will be patched, one ex Conrail, one ex D&RGW
3 Geeps, 2 will be D&RGW patched, the other one will be a CSX ghost.
And lastly, 2 SD40-2 snoots with extended range dynamic brakes for the A&P.
Now I'm running low on some Micro-Scale decals(LHS hasn't come through for me) so I might not get them all done.

Josh, If I ever run across one of those FURX shells, I'll do it I'm sure. I did find an Electro Motive SD40-2. I really like the maroon and silver colors on that one. I don't have any of the newer 40-2 frames though. I'll have to wait until I get a couple of those.
