Use a glossy surface to hide the decal edges:

Hmm... and the weathering
is just so so...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Nice weathering job on the trucks and rails though. Static grass looks very real and the scale body mount couplers on a covered hopper are nice.

Looks like they used dry transfers on clear decal film, and some of the letters didn't stick.

For those who just can't get their decals straight, check your prototype.  A J.B. Hunt container went through Prichard, WV on NS a few days ago with the logo panel badly out line.  The left end was at least a foot lower than the right end, like someone just stuck it on without bothering to check the alignment.  All the others I saw in that train were straight.
