Next up was an Eastern Car Works CNW 65' Mill Gondola w/Custom made Barrier Load.
This car came as a kit so i assembled it and then weathered it. I started off with a light coat of cheap gray primer mist. Then proceeded to add a mixture of all 4 powder colors again. This time i also did a little underside weathering as some of it is visible when sitting on the tracks. The CNW boxcar i did not weather the underside because you cant see it when its sitting or rolling down the tracks lol.
The load for the gondola is made from a pack of Rix Products Highway Dividers and some match sticks used for the stickers in between the 2 rows of barriers. Ive also added some scrap stickers from previous loads, along with some "dirt/coat/gravel" from other previous loads the gondola may have carried in the past and from normal everyday life on the rails. Thats a little tip i picked up from the great Doctor Wayne
So, here is the car all weathered up. The next time i post, i will post some before and after shots, that should be interesting to see compared
