While I was railfanning down by "AT yard" I was lucky enough to catch the CNJ transfer come in from the other side of the river. I was very happy to see that the first car in the cut was LS&W #899.
I was pleased with the way the decals have come out a big thank you to Doctorwayne for seeing this project through. I used an Accurail rib-side hopper. the only change I made to it was to paint the inside of it a rattle can red primmer. That does a good job simulating what constant anthracite hauling does to the inside of these cars.
Once you weather it the effect is very convincing.
This "B" end shot I grabbed as #899 sits on the rip track, their seams to be some kind trouble with one of the hopper doors.
My other car is a locomotive, ARHS restoration crew
