Sometimes Overweathering is Good?

I was out on Saturday Dec. 20, 2025 by the CPKC yard at Quebec St. and came across this overweathered covered hopper. If this was a model that you did or one of your friends you would stand back and say boy that's a lot of weathering...it is just more than one expects. You do have this photo of the prototype that then proves our point...George Dutka
