I've got the two cars finished up to painting now

The last things I added were the grabs and the brake gear. The kit includes both plastic and wire grab irons. I prefer the wires ones so I drilled out the molded in divots and glued them in. After I primered both cars, top and bottom.

After the primer dried I started to weather the decks. I used an A&I wash to stain the primered wood to make it look old and silvery-gray.

Then I lightly sprayed some Polly-S dirt over to give a bit of wood color as well as dirty it up a bit. I'll leave it like this for now until I've painted the rest of the cars and added the log bunks.
