    Looking thru photographs i took in the states over the last few years i came across several shots of fallen flag boxcars in very faded condition (cant remember taking them but at 3500 miles every trip i take pictures of everything railroad). Id like to model some of these older color schemes has anyone pictures of faded fallen flag cars they have modelled?

    If you need some ideas check out my DHVM Website where there are several Freight Car roster shots.

    I do have several fallen flags running on my 95'ish BN layout. Off the top of my head I have a MT 50ft GN big sky blue box car, it is very rusted and dirty but that is what all of them I have seen in the past few years looked like. I also have a RI 50ft Box car. I used thinner to rub the lettering off in places, and I put a differant color and clean door on one side along with some grafity. My camera broke so i can not post pics but when I get it fixed or get a new one I will post some pics.
