Looks good - run that car through the tipple and get a full load of coal.

My friend will kill you for those cars! He just loves Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy, those are very nicely weathered and your skill is high. I would only wonder, how did you do it? Also, another thing is, what company manufactured those hopper cars, and did you use any enamels, it sure looks partly enamel based. I believe you should be luckey to have those finely done cars, after all, I love weathered cars, they add that realism. I also get that the cars are blackish from the coal loads over the years, how about some fact rust, hopper cars are very well known for having a lot of rust streaks, well I only infer this from the countless Canadian National trains through our area. Nicely done, and happy railroading!

Have you numbered the hoppers yet?
Very Nice!
