Walthers HO Ortner car loads
Author: calsubd

I have 10 or 12 of these and it seems to me they need some light  grey contrast, especially in the CSX cars, thanks for your comments

 Perhaps you can add ballast on top of the mounded plastic load like I did? Be sure to give the interior walls a rusty color beforehand to create a further contrast.  I did the same with a Difco car....

Completed 8 loads using fine ballast, looks good but might have got carried with the weathering, Thanks again
