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 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.

My apologies, breezinup. I have to admit, in retrospect, I may have been slightly confused myself for a minute or two when I first read the original post. But then, I realized that the post was undoubtedly a continuation of the very first post showing the Great Northern box car.
"Reading Comprehension" refers to me every bit as much as anyone else. Wasn't trying single you out in particular. It took me a little bit to figure it out, then I kinda' forgot about it for a day or two. Once again, my apologies.
