Micro-Trains CSX Weathered Box Car Set

I just received the latest M-T weathered box car set (CSX) and they look really great in person -- much better than online photos show.

After 40 years off and on in N scale, do I need more box cars? No.

Do I need more box cars that look this great out of the box? Well, yes ... yes, I do.

I'm going broke buying their weathered box car sets. They are very well done.

Yup, they look fantastic. But not good, for an early 2000s/ late 1990s layout like one of mine. Most of my cars need only running weathering. The other cool thing about this time period is that graffiti is the exception, not the rule. Mind you, this release appears not to have any. My stock has more of the car's "natural beauty" apparent. Happily, I can avoid this release and buy the used " new look" cars for less.

Once they do weathered and tagged versions of the T-BOX I’m going to be very broke, like next level broke.  :D

Only 130279 has any graffiti on it.  The other 3 cars are just weathered/rusted
