[quote user="Nickel Plate Road"] Thanks everyone especially grand master of Photo bucket Wayne. I stand corrected about this site. Peace out and PLEASE honest opinions, blast me between the eyes. Peace out my brethern <img style="display:inline;" alt="Angel" /> [/quote] Well, not sure if it is the camera or not but I would have used a semi gloss or gloss black (maybe an oil based paint? might have to give that one a try) for oil.  You might also try the Testors Createfx paint pens or paints (I think they have a tar or oil or something like that). Might be a little overdone on the spillage, but thats more of a to taste type of thing.  You might try using a prototype photo when weathering locomotives and rolling stock.  RR-picturearchives and RR-fallenflags have 100k plus photos between them. There is also a morning sun book or 2 on tank cars; however it is ~$60, so not really a good buy unless you are modeling a lot of tank car served facilities. From an operator stand point, the reporting marks are kind of hard to see.  You may want to dial the overall weathering back a smidge if you are planning on using a car routing system (might also be the photo). Noticed you removed the tank from the rest of the car.  Dont forget to weather the rest of it, wheels included (be careful not to get paint on the axle points, paint there causes the car to roll poorly or not at all)
