Hi Chris,

I'm afraid this is one of the no-no topics here on the forum, as outlined in our forum policy:

http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/243474.aspx

With that being the case I'm going to lock it before it has the possibility to go south but leave the links up for your reference.

Tom

[Edit: DSchmitt showed me a thread from late March/early April where Steve Otte gave his nod to discussing the topic of graffiti - i.e. as long as it stayed civil.  I'm fine with reopening this thread on those terms.]

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

It's a webcam, but you can capture a screen image with print screen or the Windows snipping tool.  All the graffitti you could ever want

Google "graffiti on freight cars images" Lots of photos, (both prototype and model) some of the linked sites have more photos.

A lot of Decal makers offer graffiti decals and I have seen descriptions on how to paint your own.

I don't know any websites that specialize in freight car graffiti photos, but I think this one would be the all-around best:

 

http://www.railcarphotos.com

 

It's almost exclusively modern freight cars, and it specializes in well-lit photos--just the thing you will need.

You have to join to get the full-size pictures.  No big deal; I've been a member for years, and don't regret it.
