My Friend Paul brought this over and we worked on it together. Here are the results...








He thinks it needs graffiti, I'm not so sure.

I vote leave it alone. The new MRP issue has an article about modeling a bulk corn syrup unloading facility. It specifically states because corn syrup cars are in the food instury, they are kept extremely clean and very well maintained. They had pictures of a few facilities, I do believe some Amaizo marked cars were even in the photo, and I recall them even as weathered as the tankers you guys did, not say you didn't do a grand job. The article got me interested, but it doesn't fit my era. I'm startying to get the feeling I might be filling up space with diorama's along with my model railroad. Both facilities were surrounded by chain-link fence with gates over the tracks, both facilities talked about in the article were also in modern times, 2000's IIRC, but the author does talk abit about the history of it, mentioning back to the 1970's.
