Today the very last news of my gondola project - the loads are added.
And a new question before - how are looking rails coming fresh from the steel mill? Rusty or overcoated with a blue-gray tinder?
First a picture of "new" street car rails in a switch plant ...
... you will see well rusted rails with a few tinder leftovers.

So I painted the rails in a rusty color with a few nuances of darkness - than this was visible also at the originals!
This is definitively the end of the gondola project now. And never I will build five models of same type!
