I guess AggroJones was searching for weathering threads and stumbled across this many months dormant thread. Admittedly hectorgonzales's stuff is a bit unrealistic, but no need to call in The Joker just yet - His CP switcher could be the basis of a worn-out hunk ready to be rebuilt by Larry's Truck and Electric, add some dirt/grime/rust using acrylics, stick it on a track with some workmen w/ sand-blasting equipment looking at it in annoyance - "Dang, this one really needs a lot of body-work" - Does Presier sell an Annoyed Painter figure set?

BTW, IMO Jon Grant already had won the thread with his CSX-patched Railbox, which does look very realistic - did he ever do a step-by-step follow up on that sort of weathering in other threads?

I was going to ask Graffen why modern-era European Bogie Tank Wagons were passing thru a 1950s American Industrial disctirct, but then I see he's from Sweden, which looks exactly like a 1950s American industrial district thru-out (you can tell, because it was 1950s Sweden then the automobiles would need to keep to the left of the roads - everyone got it?).  It probably has nothing to do with Graffen needing an industrial scene to display his nice-looking Statoil wagons...
