One of the most convincing weathering jobs I've seen. Top to bottom.

Great weathering.

Fruit goes in steel cans even today.

Great weathering job!

I bought one of these cars, but haven't done any reading on what they carried. Is the "cans to the northwest" lading something you came up with or is that a real assignment for some of these cars?

Great job on the weathering! That roofs looks so convincing, if you stepped wrong you might fall through it.

I've got to say that I passed on purchasing this beautiful Tangent model because I couldn't envision how to make it look realistic. You have nailed it, Foamer. Thanks for sharing your work.

Awesome job on the weathering and knocking down the lettering to achieve that convinving fade.

The roof rust is tip-top! The rust on the side sill not so much.

Overall, very cool boxcar!

Plenty LV X58 photos out there. Side sill rust is a good match for a car in the early stages of rust where the sheets meet the sill.
