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...
