I finished off the decal work on my Cn reefer:
I think I might have gotten some earlier decals from Black cat because I didn't seem to manage to make the decal edges completely disappear. I've have better luck with other decals of theirs. I also added the charcoal heater and the liquidometer gauges
I made the liquidometer panel as per Wayne's instructions but I added gauges with the top 3/4 of the zeroes of the dimensional data decals. I found it easier to use waterslide decals here instead of dry transfers.
I still have to weather the car. I'm not sure how heavy I would go the weather it. Seeing as it's 1958-59 I would figure that a wood car would have quite a few miles and years on it. But then CN kept these cars in pretty decent shape right through their careers.
I also added the heaters and liquidometer gauges to the other two CP steel reefers.
