As for the boxcar, I like that shade of faded blue. What did you do to achieve that?
Yes, the Santa Fe CF-7 with the angeled cab have the beacon already installed. All other CF-7 have no beacon installed by Athearn (Santa Fe round cab. INRD, FCEN).
The boxcar got a "white wash" first. Highly deluded white TAMIYA color will do fine. Very fine sandpaper has been used on lettering.
