    I've been off line for awhile building my latest tank car. It's a model of VICX 4814. These were huge cars, weighing in loaded at 526,000+ lbs. It was 91' long, and hauled 48,330 gals of Vinyl Chloride. It was my first attempt at fairly heavy weathering, using Bragdon powders Take a look if you will.

    Regards, Bobby
