Evolution of a patched hopper…

Today I thought I’d write a short blog post showing a car I did perhaps a year and a half ago for another friend and local modeler. This is I believe a Tangent car.

The hopper is an ex-PC then ConRail car, patched for RFMX. Obviously as shown the old Penn Central lettering is showing through along with the CR logo which had to be covered over and masked. Other areas were also patched and re-stenciled. This car took about two weeks to do with all the different mediums, patchwork, and decal work. Hope you enjoy the photos!
