11
Accurail wood reefer
11. This model was repainted and decaled with the
Microscale decal set for BFEX reefers. The molded-on
grab irons and ladders were replaced with wire and
plastic ones. The car was finished by over-spraying it
with a Dullcote mixed with a couple of drops of black
and brown to tone down the sides. After the Dullcote
was dry a new #11 X‑Acto blade was used to remove
some of the Dullcote mixture around the grab irons
and ladders, where trainmen would have climbed on
the car. A few individual boards were also picked out
with the X-Acto blade to age the car sides more.
