Jeff,
I agree on the Railbox. Very credible. Probably your best weathering job (that I've seen, anyway). I think the acrylic washes are probably your best bet.
Was it one coat or multiple coats to get that? The only reason I ask is because you may want to vary the degree of weathering on future cars with this one perhaps anchoring the heavy end.
Anyway, I had to say something. That car is leaps and bounds above your other recent work. I think you've found your technique.

Thanks Cox47, I just couldn't see paying that much for just one. So I tried one, it's not the best but it's pretty close. I was at the LHS and as usual running through the store looking at everyting and just happen to notice the brass stock strip for the hitch pad. I think it came out pretty good, but making track bumpers out of piles of ties is much simpler. LOL
