I have wanted to try one of these unfinished weaver kits. I obtained some weaver trucks from one of our forum members and I just received this 2 bay hopper kit so I am ready to go.
My plan is to wash with soap and water, spray this with krylon satin black, put on some Tichy decals (either B&O or C&O), and finish with another coat of clear krylon satin finish. the last detail will be a coal load out of blue foam and some "real" coal I bought at York.
I would value any other suggestions on finishing this (or other ideas) since this is my first weaver kit. Thanks.
