Agreed! Seeing photos of that O-scaler's weathering effort that someone posted on this list a few weeks ago inspired me to take another stab at weathering the top of one of my boxcars. I used his photos as a guide.
Another thing I have noticed now that I have participated in several public shows with the Houston S Gaugers, is that there almost always is one car that has a smudge or finger print left behind on the weathering of the car (some of the guys don't give other's cars that golden-glove treatment that I give mine...). I told one of the members that I'll have to fix that. He mentioned that that is not unlike the real world where weathering builds upon other weathering. The first time it happened I panicked/was annoyed, but now I look at it as an opportunity to add another layer of weathering to the car! Anyway, back to scratchbuilding my PRR H21a... (I'm having a blast; that's my "FNF"; I just uploaded new photos to my web site, fyi) - Peter.
