TV patched Gondola with Scrap Metal Load

This is an Athearn Blue box 50' Gondola kit, which was decorated for C&O in the Progress scheme. I wanted some variety to having black gondolas with white lettering but didn't have any yellow dim data sets, so instead I left the car as-is. I weathered it up appropriately for a car being used in scrap metal service, and then patched it using black microscale trimfilm. Then, I added reporting marks, a number and logo for my private railroad, the Tuckahoe Valley, plus an ACI tag because of the in build date of the car. I weathered it a bit more, and then added a custom scrap metal load I bought from a hobby shop in Indiana while I was on vacation. Painted metal wheels and scale couplers complete the car.
