Detailing Atlas Centerbeam cars - Rscott417 - 03-03-2016 I attempted to detail a couple of Atlas center partition cars, I got a lumber load off eBay and some silverish grey button thread to simulate cables from a craft store. It took me all day to complete and think they came out pretty good. Re: Detailing Atlas Centerbeam cars - Catt - 03-03-2016 Nice looking cars sir. Re: Detailing Atlas Centerbeam cars - BR60103 - 03-03-2016 You'll certainly want to get the second one loaded, to hide all the decrepitude on the centre beam! Re: Detailing Atlas Centerbeam cars - Brakie - 03-12-2016 Very nice! If I may as a observation. Should watch the rust though.. The majority of the CBs I see doesn't have all that much rust.

I've seen rusty CBs but,the majority had standard weathering like grime and spots of rust. Come to think of it I haven't seen that many true rust buckets in years. I recall seeing a old white Soo Line gon had rust along the ribs and was grimy every where else. Re: Detailing Atlas Centerbeam cars - SSWUPinSA - 06-04-2016 Looks great. If you want a really realistic strap try get dental floss (flat one) and paint it black, perfect for replicating straps and gets really tight!
