 Date: 05/21/17 16:36 Re: Reefer (car) Madness?? Author: DKay Outstanding work on the Grafitti,and weathering.Those big white canvases were ripe for the picking by the ''artist's''.
Great work on the layout also,almost looks like an extension of BruceF'man's fine CSX empire. Regards,DK Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/21/17 16:38 by DKay. Date: 05/21/17 17:38 Re: Reefer (car) Madness?? Author: ghemr DKay Wrote:

Indeed, you're right---white cars do attract artists as shown on my other cars....    Date: 05/21/17 17:40 Re: Reefer (car) Madness?? Author: ghemr A few more....
   Date: 05/21/17 18:27 Re: Reefer (car) Madness?? Author: Jimmies The "afters" are much better looking than the out-of-the-box "before" photo. Ichabod would be pleased, I'm sure. I like the idea of the rust streak from the upper door track. And that thunderstorm looks great.
Jim Date: 05/21/17 18:29 Re: Reefer (car) Madness?? Author: Hookdragkick Way to bring those reefers to modern standards. If you're a big, white car, you're SOL! Your little Local is sharp too. Great job G.

Author: DynamicBrake Thanks for sharing your "rolling reefers," complete with up to date graffiti. Personally, I detest the graffiti of today, but I must say that you did a real nice job. I grew up with the SP, where graffiti back then consisted of "Herby, Waterbed Lou and others.

Art House Date: 05/22/17 09:53 Re: Reefer (car) Madness?? Author: grandeguy Nice work..................that's why its called modeling. Prototype salad shooters are a long string of Graffiti Cars.
