More weathered cars from MTL-Autoracks this time.

Just received an email from Ben, there are two Ferromex autoracks with graffiti and weathering. Only copied one side of one car to show here.



IMHO, a better job this time...

The Ferromex's have only been out for 2-3 months although the body style has been out longer.

They may have been Red Caboose cars but the Feromex's have been out longer than I thought, They were an October release.

Didn't MT do an Ferromax autorack for NSN that also came with graffitti on it a few years ago?

Graffitti Collector run was TFM, not Ferromex.

Ah I see, thanks.  I thought this was an after-market release, but it's MT's (I should read the thread title...).  They don't look especially weathered, but I like the graffiti on this one too:



Cheers,
Gary

Agreed, better -- but still looks like it really wants some rust on the roof.

Is the paint color at all faded? I can't tell from the pix.
