CP 400259 62' Tank Car

 Sixty Five

Here we have another commissioned work. This is an Athearn tank car kit that was given to me assembled. I did a medium weathering job with some rust and went light on the graffiti. Weathering was done with acrylics, rust with oils and graffiti with paint markers

As a side note, in searching RR Pictures Archives it appears that CP mostly used these cars for MOW or internal purposes.

 Sixty Seven and Sixty Eight

Close up of the rust and of the "streaking" letters. I did the streaking with several light washes of acrylic paint.

I took the idea of the red paint off a prototype photo
