Well it started out real bad , I had but the flat finish on and it "frosted" on me so I got out the thinner and scrubbed it ! Started over and I'm shocked how it turned out !!!!
The DM&L bought the car it was in bad shape so the boys at the shop added new trucks new couplers and hoses and reflective stripes (paint shop is busy working on a new logo that's why it's still crusty)
Wow that is awesome!

Thank ya Dan !!!
Nice! Started out bad? haha! Looks like that car is due for scrap track now! DE Dan
Thank ya DE Dan , This car was a nightmare from the start I'm glad it turned out ok cause the sledgehammer and I woulda had a lil fun ! Just kidding I'm a thrower
Interesting story on what has turned into a great looking car. May want to move the air hose to the other side of the coupler though....
Regards,
Russ

I'm still laughing at this half a day after reading it! It reminds me of my old man trying to make an RS3 stick into a cinder block foundation wall after he jacked something up on it. The foundation wall won, RS3 never ran again.

Oops thanks Russ ! Dan , That is to funny
You know I am a thrower/smasher too... but, in reality... there is no reason to throw/smash a railcar. You can always strip it or repaint it and decal it into a new car... but, I know it's more fun to chuck it! LOL! Worse case... you could always make a model of the following pic! DE Dan
one of it on the rails
It does look good! I can see it at a silo being knocked around by switcher. DE Dan
Thanks Dan , that's we're its headed first movement after being released from the shop !
