Three flat cars for my Xtra train with the extralarge pressure tank are painted and weathered.
Left a Red Caboose 42' flat car with its original lettering for NYC. In Center my modified and shortened 36' flat car (originally also a 42' Red Caboose model) which is lettered for the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. after the prototypical flat car for transporting the fat pressure tank. And on right end a PRR F-29 flat car. All models are aged and relatively heavy weathered and so I think to have a good contrast to the fresh painted pressure tank.
In moment my friend has to do a last paint correction and then I could present first pictures of this fat thing.
In two or three weeks this all could be look so with painted cars and tank.
However then I'm still missing the correct N&W wood caboose and the engine needs also a correction of lettering.
