Johan, thank you ! I'll shoot some more photos when I put the tower back on the layout. Even though it's overcast outside the photos almost always come out better with mother nature's sunlight.
I have two Atlas O 40 foot BAR PS-1 boxcars that I have thoroughly washed, painted the black ladders the correct red/white/blue and dull coated them.... I am going to lightly fade them like the Rutland Boxcar I did a few days ago. Hope you had a great holiday and are doing well.
