Chip, <br /> <br />I know others will disagree but nothing beats the look of real wood. For a simple project take some scale 1 x 4s dye em in alcohol and shoe dye mix and glue em' down to the deck of a flat car....Tell me what you think then...I know there are a thousand ways to fake wood with plastic, but to my eye most of these methods lack the depth of the wood grain. Buy Kappler or Mt. Albert scale wood, not balsa or soft pine...... <br /> <br />Check the deck on the flat car and the sides of the side dump gon, they are real wood...... <br /> <br /> <br />[img]http://www.railimages.com/albums/guycantwell/abr.jpg[/img]
