    Good morning from warm, windy and rainy Northeast Ohio!

    I managed to get a couple of cars done despite all the bowling I did last weekend as I was participating in the city tournament for Cleveland.

    [​IMG]

    Branchline 50' Double Door Boxcar kit, painted with Floquil PC Green and lettered with Microscale Decals. Car was originally built for the NYC as lot 864-B in 1957. Based on what I found it was in auto parts service and assigned to Pontiac Motors delivering axles.

    This is the Third MDC 4700 CF FMC Covered Hopper kit I have built and painted in this scheme to service the new grain elevator at our club. Prototype was built in 1980 and changed hands numerous times as leases expired or changed hands.

    Thanks for looking!

    The finish is excellent, the rust effect looks just about perfect!

    Did you use some kind of filter or is that just the lighting?

    Eagle, I just toned down the color in Photobucket for the faded '60s photo look.

    There's a recommendation that you can improve your modeling by using prototype photos as inspiration.

    On Trainboard, we don't need no prototype photos! We have Candy's work as inspiration! The attention to detail in this work is incredible, Candy.

    I was just going to ask- how much time have you invested, in order to create a scene such as this one?

    Private parking? Looks more like long term. Great modeling as always.
