I'm really missing this one. OK it's vomit, wait, I sort of get it, no, that's not it either, I've really got to think this one out, I'll be right back., I think we are having this for supper.

Bob,

I think it's about time you clean out your air brush...[:)]

And what are those funny black thingies on each end of the car?

I think it looks terrific. Godzilla coughed up a fur ball and it landed on the boxcar.

I think whoever had the job of loading that car confused it with a rock gondola!

Jeesh, where was that car stored? It looks as if it slid down a hillside. Why's the rest of it so clean?[:p]

Obviously a car in the "oyster" trade. Well done and hope that you are "recovering" from being "under the weather".

P.S. Hope this car does not "offend" any one in these our polically correct times, graffetti to the extreme, "dirty" but I don't think it is too smutty, but then I cannot make out the "presenter" and how he/she is clad! Nice piece of humor for relief from some of the other weekend "rants"

This may not be too far off, there's going to be a lot of rolling stock and containers around the Gulf looking this way.

Now it's beginning to look more like an SP boxcar! [:D]

So what do you think of the weathering on this boxcar?



A bit too much? A little over the top?

(The idea isn't mine, I saw a similar one in an older NMRA Bulletin, and had to do one for myself! [:D] )
