So...

I work for a local big box store that shall remain nameless...

Today, one of my regular customers came in and handed me a box. He is moving, and is trying to find homes for some things. He knows me as a fellow model railroader, but I have a bit of an issue. The box contained 6 O scale standard gauge freight cars. 2 40' boxcars, 2 40' Reefers, a tank car, and a wood-sided caboose.

AK Interactive is a well known brand of modeling supplies, mostly paints and similar products, such as weathering washes, pigments and filters. Although mainly focused on military modelers it recently made some inroads into model railroading, with 2 sets of weathering products, one for locomotives and other for railcars.

It also published a book, named "trainspotting" to address the needs of model railroaders and military modelers wishing to depict a railroad scene (there are several static models of European trains, in 1:35, 1:72 and 1:87).

Hey guys. I've been meaning to start a weathering project for a boxcar I bought off of Ebay and was wondering if I could get your help with it. I picked up an old Athearn? 50' boxcar decorated for the Marinette Tomahawk & Western Railway. I had intended to weather it for a Hartford & Slocomb patchout but the MTW car was hard to come by for a price I could live with. I eventually settled for the older, less detailed model because I was willing to take the necessary steps to upgrade it.
