The yellow boxcar does not appear weathered. Which is fine with me, but kind of confusing given that it's listed as a weathered car.

I suppose the written description could be interpreted either way, possibly.  But "a brand-new weathered scheme" suggests singular, not plural, and the picture pretty much clarifies that point in my opinion.  For the "newest box car additions (plural)", the yellow car is a clean car, while the red car is the weathered car.

Reading comprehension comes in handy when you slow down and take the time to understand what is being written. 

Well, the title under the picture of the two boxcars says "O gauge weathered boxcars from Menards."

"Boxcars," plural. But only one of the two cars pictured is weathered. I think most people would expect them both to be weathered based on that description. Doesn't take much reading comprehension to come to that conclusion.
