no trouble, by this weekend I should have it weathered for you and I can take it up the road where I did the other pictures. (the trucks will be blackened and the wheels rusted also).
I will have to share my two Rio Grande boxcars when I get home next. I added some pallets with boxed freight to the inside. they look great with freight in them.
I'm 99% certain, without seeing the bottom, that's a 158 grain soft point .357 magnum round. It was the standard load in my service weapon for years and I'd recognize one in my sleep. It's a little too long for .38 round although it's close, but the bullet end looks like a .357 to me. Anyway, interesting item for a load, Larry. Just don't go hammering around the bottom of this one.
