Thanks for adding to the thread. I love weathered cars. Have you ever seen the work of the guys over at "ModelTrainsWeathered"? Absolutely amazing stuff. However, with a layout to build and a 120 car roster, there is no way I could spend the time necessary to achieve those results. I am more of a mass-producer, slap some paint and chalk on til it is acceptable and call it good kind of guy.
I like that gondola and load.
