I wasn’t happy with the my initial weathering on this ARR 8019 boxcar…the roof was a bit fresh, and the ends were a bit heavy, so I decided to make some changes. The roof was reworked using a masking technique, galvanizing, and 2 tones of rust to reflect more milege, the panel detail was highlighted a bit more, and the tackboards received some gray to simulate wood. It also comes equipped with weathered FVM metal wheel sets, which is a nice bonus.
