Not affiliated with Hogtrainz, but they have posted the Nov. MT weathered releases.

Sweet looking PFE reefer 3 pack, but not feeling the holiday spirit of their 3 Bay Centerflow release.

Last couple months have been easy on the wallet thanks to MT.

I wondered if that one was based on a prototype. Figures Ed's Law applies.

From what I have gathered, most all of their graffiti is based off the prototype in some sort of fashion. Sometimes it takes me a couple hours to find the 1:1 version, others is 5-10 minutes.

I know FVM has done some factory graffiti, but I really wish there was more that did it. There is a calling for it.

Agreed, especially with how fast most weathered offerings sell out. Not to mention the Athearn Primed to Grime series has been a fast seller too. I really wish I could find a couple of their P2G Railbox boxcars. Those were sweetly faded and ready for rust, dirt, and grafitti.

Those 56-ft tank cars should have the graffiti on the bottom.... they ride so high up it's hard to imaging that the taggers could even reach the sides at all...

You would think that, but both the Aug and Sept 56' Tank cars are where the graffiti is.

It's the full size graffiti on autoracks that always amazes me, carrying around a ladder to get it done just sounds crazy.

Ah, a prefect example that MTL is willing to do a foob by using graffiti from a 4-bay car and modeling it on a totally different prototype.  But we already knew that do that fairly frequently.  We have a discussion about this currently in the Prototype section.

It seems with MTL releasing weathered/graffitied models every month, they have  figured out the N scale market.

They look nice!  I'll have to get out the dull coat and alcohol trick and do that to the ones I already have!

It's hard to beat the Susie Q car from a couple months ago. They did that one in Z too, but I had to skip it cause their molded on roofwalks in Z look too bogus.
