ive gotten hit by the anarchist fr8 disser myself.....

win some lose some

it comes down to a matter of taste. if you want accuracy and realism then decals are the way to go. if you want a signed model train then go for the markers and mail some off to your fav. graff celeb.

that golden west is not decal and you can tell by scale/sloppiness of the execution.... decals are the only way to get a true scale/accurate piece on models.......... the artist in me says it can be done on micro scale using fine ass brushes and a magnifying glass..........but im not trying to get a migraine from it. decaling is a bitch too.....depending on the car you are doing it on...better to practice a couple times before you try to deck out that car you spent 19 days weathering. i would recomend you print multiples of any single decal piece you want to place on a car....that way when it rips or crickles you can start over without printing out another sheet. when actually making the decals....it helps to find a head on str8 shot of the fr8/wall piece you are going to use.....photoshop, and a color photo printer will handle the rest.....and decal paper is expensive. good luck to all trying this hobby....its a time consumer.

inland valley is the way to go........very few people have the lock on these.......as is evident from the post. i like these threads, although they certainly give toys an upclose view of things that they wouldn't normally see without research.

nashville star..................

less nerdy and more jerky really........no respect for the rails or other writers and a negelct to what makes trains look good.....taking the fr8 into consideration when painting pannels....there are very few writers doing this now and it is sad.

looks like you are just part of problem among writers who are quick to paint the trains as their way of making themselves "known"......i just have a respect for the cars themselves the rarity of a nice car and an appreciation for the rare logo on a nice boxcar....or in this case reefer....im in no way policing anything just sharing that perspective.

i don't understand the point of doing a wholecar coldtrain.......armn ok sure, but take away that baby blue and logo and its another miniridge....so covering that up seems lame.
