I've picked up a couple of new Intermountain Models 50 foot RBOX cars. I bought them pre-owned through the facebook Canadian Model Railroad Buy/Sell group but they had never been out of the box.
I haven't done any weathering to them yet, but I will. And toward that goal, I bought and have received the complete set of six weathered/faded RBOX decals from Precision Design Company. I've used these same decals before, and they are top-notch quality. I ordered them online of course, and buying the full set of six saved me $5, plus the company pays the shipping (mailing) cost.
The complete set of 6 weathered and faded RBOX decals.
And so here are a few looks at my 2 new Intermountain boxcars.
Gotta straighten that one stirrup
The yellow overspray along the edges of the roofs is a nice touch.
And out on the layout, two weeks ago we followed a one car train heading around to drop an RBOX along South Industrial Boulevard.
Sorry to repeat myself by showing this view from that previous post again, but I want to point put that I had weathered that RBOX a few years back using a PDC decal set.
Here's a look at engine 813 and the single cylindrical hopper it picked up on it's way back to the JSSX yard.
I'll have more on that part of the operation next time.
Have a good week out there.
