Some weathered freight cars for Sweethome Alabama

[Jon Grant 4472]

The next couple of cars to get the treatment were an E&C Shops excess-height A406 double-door boxcar for MDW and a 50ft NS (SOU) boxcar - I think this is a Roundhouse model, but it was heavily detailled by the late Dave Scott, and I am unsure of it's history - I have so far found no photo to match it.

The MDW car came in a shade of green that closely resembled BN cascade green, so had to be substantially lightened to match photos of the prototype before I could start the weathering.












Finally a couple of 'group shots'






Happy Easter,
