James,

           Very cool idea!  I'd like to help add to this thread also.  Here's a shot of a car I did a while back for a friend on mine who lives in Australia.  If memory serves, I believe this is an HO scale Kadee welded steel sided box car.   I hand weathered this car using solvent base paints, oils and powders.  Besides the heavy weathering I also added custom made cut lever bars with brackets and underframe pull release air rods.  Since the doors opened I remembered to detail and weather the inside as well so this model could be used in different photo poses. "variety- the spice of life".  Can't wait to see all the cool freight car models to follow here!   Thanx Thom...

Hal,
       Very cool pictures, the older I get the more I like history!  Funny when I was a kid (it seems last week) I couldn't care less about old things.  Thanks for sharing.   Thanx Thom...

John,
        To sound like a copy cat,  I agree with the lot.  Fantastic modeling and pictures.  I've looked several times.  Boy it's a lot of fun to see what others are doing in this "Worlds Greatest Hobby"     Thanks for sharing, keep up the great modeling sir.   Thanx Thom...

Here's a car I rebuilt for a customers private line.  The car has all wheel pickups with a custom stay alive 4 function constant lighting package added.  I added peeling paint weathering, cut open 2 windows, rear cabin door, plus added cabin and cupola seats/crew members so the lights have a reason for being.  Thanx Thom...

James,
           I like the new photos, excellent work.  I like the added shades.  The overall look of the car seems right to me, that's all I'm usually after when I model.  Thanx Thom...

James,
           Really good work!  I like the plastic/brass precision, I know that took some quality time.  Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished car.  Thanx Thom...
