  11. Clovis, Thanks a million . I guess the biggest part of weathering for me was/is the trial and error. I truly do enjoy the weathering process. I've never been very good at thinning paint for my airbrush, so I've always used the washes/dry brushing/pastels system. I've also used oils, but feel more comfortable with the enamels. I believe there's always the fine line between doing enough weathering to have it be seen, and going too far, as to overpower the base colors. I love to look at all types of models, to see how others have achieved their results. Mark
  12. Cool. "real world" car. Mark
  13. CSMO, Thanks a lot. Railroad companies like the New York Central, and the Penn Central would have their own tug boats to move barges (car floats) of rolling stock across rivers like the Hudson, from one end of their line to another. The tugs would usually tie up on the side (hip) of a barge, and take it across the river, or have 2 barges, one one each side of the tug. There was a huge amount of car float traffic in New York harbor into the early 1960's. My favorite period of model boat building is the harbor type tugs from 1880's through the 1940's. Mark
