Weathered waffle box
Author: Jimmies

Ditchlights from Grand Trunk SD38-2 6252 illuminate the B-end of CIRR boxcar 2637. The 50 footer, probably loaded with paper rolls, is being interchanged over to local shortline JSSX for delivery tomorrow to a nearby printing plant.

The boxcar is just a simple old-school Roundhouse car, but with the weathering it will blend right in among other more "premium" freight cars that are produced these days.

Thanks for looking.

Jim

Convincing. Not every car can get the complete works! Good job on the weathering though.

Well done!

Its a Walthers car though; The MDC "waffle" was a flattop plug door.

I've noticed since moving away from California many years ago and traveling to places like Chicago, Buffalo, Syracuse, Harrisberg etc. that thing rust a lot more in the upper mid-west and northeast. That Waffle fits in with those environs!

Cheers, Jim

Very nice! The car has the right amount of rust and fading to highlight the waffles.......

Stottman and Patch: Thanks for the correction. I appreciate that. The car is second hand, so I guess what threw me off was that it was in a Roundhouse box. But, it was a replacement label on the end of the box though.

Thanks to allfor looking in.

SUPERB weathering (as usual) Jim. Something that we have come to expect from you. Thanks for sharing.

Stellar work! I agree that some decent weathering helps to blend in older kits to the current beauties out there. The vast majority of cars on my Onondaga Cutoff are older kits but each and every is weathered!

Good stuff here Jimmies!

Still waiting for someone to figure out how to model the roofs that have been pushed out by getting bashed by forklifts during loading/unloading.
