Album: MOW flat cars

"Before" view showing 9007's original deck weathering using Bragdon powders. Some kind folks at the Proto-Layouts list and Atlas Forum encouraged me to take it further, which led to the changes seen in the next image.

Because of the model's relatively light weight, the tie bundles were made by gluing Micro Engineering ties to lead weights. The tie-down straps are Chart-Pak tape cut into thinner strips and painted with a mix of Floquil Grimy Black and Old Silver. The ends of the bundles were made from the cut-off ends of a number of surplus ties left over from turnout construction.
