While working on the C&NW open hopper, I pulled these two cars out of one train box to weather up for eBay. These two B&O 60’ auto parts boxcars are Walther’s cars, purchased many moons ago while at Caboose Hobbies.
The cars had the roofs previously weathered by myself, and a bit of fading via a wash on the one car. What I did to these cars was to add a further wash to the other car to kind of tone down the royal blue color. I then dirtied up the door areas a bit. Both cars had their undersides done in what I again call texture weathering. The brake wheels were rusted up next. Wheels were also touched up and resealed. A light dirt overspray was applied to the frame sills. Finally, the old ACI plate decals were replaced with the thin brass ones from Atlas. After a final seal on the cars, they were ready for eBay.
