Here's How That SP Auto Parts Car Turned Out

Here's a few looks at the way that 86 foot SP auto-parts boxcar from last week's post has turned out:This is kind of a before and after view...the same type of boxcar on the bottom is of course a different number, but this view shows the difference between the boxcar's original clean appearance and my weathered model.  (I've also started weathering the one on the bottom now too, but that'll be for another post).

My finished boxcar, is fully weathered.

And a few from out in the wilds of the layout
SP 615243 is spotted at the parts factory

The car's colour seems to be "off" a little bit in this view.  I don't know why.

This look shows the weathered roof as well.  I really like this view.

And now, not to bore anyone, but I've also now begun the weathering of SP 615222 (below).
Weathered on the left end, still clean on the right.

So that's it for this time.  Have a good week out there.
