doctorwayne's New Years Resolution Challenge...

To add the re-weigh data, I airbrushed two shades of boxcar red onto some clear decal paper, then applied the left-over lettering from the original dry transfer sets. I then added the weigh-scale location DV (Dunnville) or MF (Mount Forest) and the date on which the work was performed. The sheets were then airbrushed with DullCote. Working with a sharp #11 blade on a sheet of glass, the individual data was cut-out and applied, like any regular decal, to the cars' sides. Several applications of Solvaset were required to get the painted and DullCoted decal film to snuggle down over any raised details.



For the re-pack data, I used the decal sets for this purpose from Champ. First, a small piece of clear decal paper was airbrushed black, then small patches were cut from the sheet and applied.





After these had set, the Champ re-pack data was added:



I used a small brush to apply Dullcote to the re-pack data. Only a little light weathering yet to be added, and any overspray cleaned from the wheel treads, and the cars will be placed in service.
