2771-chris OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 634 Thank you received: 94	Here's a 50fter I did about 2 months ago.I had an undec accurail unit so I tried an experiment using the 40 ft RDG Modeler decals.With the extra yellow banner spacers I just couldn't get the decal to look right.I decided to use the 40ft banner.It will make a good conversation piece in a consist of 50fters with the correct banner length.

RRDavey OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 98 Thank you received: 24	Thanks. An article in the July 2013 RMC titled "Weathering freight cars without an airbrush" by Bob Walker showed the tackboard technique. It came out just as I was finishing these cars. Basically take small blobs of gray and black paint, swirl 'em with, a brush, and dry brush the mix onto the tackboard.--Dave
