Prototype Information

ACF 60' plug door boxcar.

Model Information

This is a standard car, except I replaced the sliding doors with plug doors, to match specific prototypes owned by lessor HPJX. The car shows that some graffiti was already covered up by the railroad; however, taggers returned to add their "art" to the car. Atlas makes a beautiful model, with thin rungs on the ladders and nice brake detail. It makes a great starting point for these cars. I hand-painted the graffiti from actual cars; and used an airbrush and chalk for fading/weathering.
