Well, I ws going to do the decaling but I found that the hopper decals that I had didn't really work with these composite hoppers. So I found some cheap ones online and they are on their way. In the meantime, I decaled the Boxcar:
I chose a dry transfer set for a car that was built in 1947 when CN briefly changed it's slogan from 'Serves all Canada' to 'Canada's largest Railway'. I guess that didn't really stick because they changed it back a year or so later.
I also took the oppertunity to weather the trucks for all four cars. I airbushed the trucks and wheelsets with grimey black, followed by a bit of rust.
The Athearn hopper is also waiting for decals but since it's just a blue-box, there's no real hurry.
Whiule I'm waiting for the decals, I'm going to work on some layout projects
