it was fun to do!
I posted a shot of some graffiti I took outside my work at lunch several weeks ago (see below or WPF June 18-24). A friend who runs a modern-day layout gave me a couple of "blank canvasses" on which to try my hand. I used paint markers in extra fine and fine tips, and Bragdon weathering powers for the rust and so on. The couplers and wheels are likely to be changed out at a later date, so did not get much attention.
Here are the results. You only get two guesses as to what my friend's name is...!

The covered hopper is "tagged" with the name of my friend's dog. You only get two guesses for this one too
