CN Proto 2000 cars

[cnrglen]

I just finished up two P2K projects last week
First is a 50' auto boxcar that was an undecorated kit

After assembling it (a challenge) I painted it Boxcar red and used CDS dry transfer decals on it. It's lightly weathered with Polly-s dirt on the lower sills and along the ladders and running boards

Next is the Proto2000 mill gon. I bought this at an estate sale for cheap so I decided to go all out in weathering this one. I used a grey and black wash on the sides, then airbrushed dirt and rust inside and out to make it look well used. I airbrushed the trucks grimey black witha light spray of dirt over top. This will be one of two scrap gons that I have.

Nice job. I know from experience those auto boxes are a bit of a challenge, but after assembling 10 of them you start to get the hang of them! I think ive still got one or two two left to do. I like the weathering on the gon too.

You might want to cut and notch the side sills on your dd boxcar to better match the prototype too, Proto has markings on the backside to help you cut them too! Just a sug...
