No problem Badhorse. I had two racks for years and never used them... And I thought it should go to a new home. Also, thought the horse biting the "CSX" would get a couple laughs. Glad to see you're enjoying it!

That is nice. I just noticed it biting the CSX once you said something that is even better.

Nicely done on the auto rack. It looks very prototypical- I could actually see similar graffiti on some of the auto racks NS drops off at Bison Yard.

I like it...it's something to do with all that wasted space!

Thanks Matt and Backyard. I usually either copy what I have seen on the side of cars... or I try to represent what could find its way onto the side of a car. This one, of course, is custom for Badhorse79. Although if I see it on a real railcar... Yes, I am looking at you Badhorse!!!! HAHA!!!!

I ain't that artistic ... I tried the hands on graffiti ....(ho scale graffiti )and I gave that up ...plus I have a guilty conscious ...

No need for "graffiti-guilt," we are at the point where companies are beginning to contract taggers and offer space for advertisements of subjects.
