In previous releases of the "heavy weathering" sets MT has had photos of both sides, Side A, Side B, but not for this set for some reason. It makes sense that they would be the same but I would also be interested in a report from someone who has them to confirm that.

That was my thought too, especially since it is easy to find protophotos of one side of these cars and not the other.

I received my set.  They are very nicely done on both sides, with evenly applied heavy weathering.  The only complaint I have is that the car ends, and hopper bottoms look pristine, like they just came out of the paint shop.  It will be easy enough to weather the car ends and bottom of the hoppers, but matching the weathering will be a bit more of a challenge.  Overall though, this is a very nice offering for the price.

I blame Atlas for not getting the Railroad Police Explorers out on the market yet.
