Always a hit out of the park! The chipping up top and galvanized matched look is very good. Chalk marks are a bit thick, but that's it, not a life-ender!

One of the guys in our live steam group scratchbuilt this Cotton Belt boxcar,
albeit without the Blue Streak lightening bolt.  Shown here at a track near Dallas.

Wow Phil, that is just all kinds of nice!  And there's just something cool about 40 ft boxcars...

That first shot of the box car reveals a extremely nice job of weathering along with saftety changes.   Good stuff.
