I built this car 10 years ago and decided to work on it. I added Archer weld lines, the large Dupont logo, aci tags, early cots and several decal changes. To finish it up, I weathered it. These 70 cars were built by ACF in 1969 and hauled 43,800 gals of Ethylene Glycol until they were cut up in 2008. They weight 526,000 lbs loaded.

Thanks for looking, Bobby

Quit posting prototype photos and trying to pass them off as models, will you? You can't fool us!

Seriously, your work is astonishingly naturalistic. For me, it establishes a standard I'm sure I don't have enough years of life left to achieve. Thanks for showing it.   Cheers, Harry
