I while ago I finished up this EL Boxcar. Its an Intermountain 10'6" AAR kit. I used decals from Highball Graphics and painted it to match a proto photo on the Highball website. Here is a Link to the photo.

I think I got it pretty close but maybe a bit heavy on the black streaking. I am still learning to use a lite touch when streaking with oils. The white dusting was done with oils and white weathering powders. I omitted the roof walk and shortened the ladders on the A end. I also left off the U-1 wheel inspection dot labels as these were not in use until 1978 and I'm modelling April 1977. Kadee #158 's were also installed. I still need to install brake hoses and cut levers. Back when I built this I hadn't come up with a standard for my freight cars and they are not all finished to the same detail level. I save my freight cat standard for another post.
