    I am a big fan of MTL's weathered car line they introduced recently. This past week, I received the Eastern Roads four pack which has two PRR and two NYC cars. I have to admit that I love this set and the weathering. It it great! My only complaint is the MTL does try to hide the road numbers on most of their weathered cars. But that is understandable since these cars were released previously. But in real life, these road number would be legible.

    I have my set sitting here with AZL's NYC GP30 up in front. What a great combo!

    Thumps up to MTL on this one. I am looking forward to their next weathered sets.

    Eventually my entire freight car fleet other than hacks will be MTL's weathered cars.

    They do look very nice indeed! Weathering makes a big difference.

    I think putting them out in sets is a good idea.

    John, I think your layout demands everything look weathered! :)

    John I thought of your layout right away when I saw the set. I have this one as well:

    I am thinking of mixing these with a few Full Throttle NYC 2-bays for a mixed consist.
