Thank you,

The last 8 sulfur tank cars for September. Kick up splatter needed yet on the end panels. Some sulfur spillage will be added

Decals or hand drawn graffiti on the autorack.

Have to admit I really like the CGTX cars, so maybe next year I think.

I wonder what you would do with this one given free reign, could be a challenge, or not.

Depends on what the client wants. I tried finding a prototype photo of this car or any other rainbow colored car. They are all clean!

Definitely heavy grime for the 4 chutes, wheels and trucks. Lighter grime across the different colors. Rust spots on the 11 points where the walkways across the top join the body with light rust streaks from those points down. Color choices depend on what load the car carries

Looks kind of cheesy doesn’t it. I added them at the last minute and I think there are too many. Less is more…like the car below

Thanks I will look at them again tomorrow and decide to remove themView attachment 173789

Cheesy? Pun intended, I believe

You would have to look at the real one to see how it faded. How dirty it is and do they clean it to keep it up.

I purchased a ClassOneModelWorks depressed flat car from HomeShops.net. HomeShops specializes in working with model manufacturers to add private model Railroad names to the cars

While I started weathering the car I didn’t take any notes as to what I paints I used. This is still a work in process but this is what I am shooting for the deck. A messed up deck but still being able to read in car info

I saw the sulphur pile in the molten S page…
Reminded me of the pile in my hometown as a kid
We had BASF, CIL and Domtar
Rail service to all the plants…

The smell you never forget…

As many of you who have followed along there are a couple types of cars that really hold my weathering interest. Centerbeam or center partition cars and Pulp cars. The pulp cars I have weathered number well over 100 and the Centerbeam is in third place behind tanks cars. This is Centerbeam/partition car #51.

Still a work in process along with 3 other of its partners, but I am getting there. The center poles are next then the finishing of the deck

thanks for following along

Have to admit, I love seeing your "works of art"
