Working my ay through a number of projects that I've left unfinished for the past year or so. I bought a Walthers Work flat kit at a swap meet last year. I already had one that was built stock:
But I wanted to up the new ones game a bit.
I replaced the cat-in corner grabs with wire, then I weathered the deck with a series of grays, tans and washes.
I painted the rest on the car in boxcar red and gave it a single number since it's for my logging line. I still used the original gondola sides but I weathered and painted them.
I found the car was a bit on the light side so I used some stick-on weights and hid them under a stack on ties.
After that I replaced the cast coal/ gravel pile with woodland scenics ballast, The plastic barrels with some wood kegs of spikes, and some hand tools.
It needs it's final weathering yet.
