A few weeks ago I received the covered hoppers from Class One Model Works that I had preordered last year.
I wasted no time getting the cars out, reviewed, and weathered. But as usual it took a little longer to get the video finished and uploaded!

In this video I take a close look at this new model, then get out the paints and give them some good weathering! I'll show you how I paint the graffiti, weather with acrylics, oils, and chalks, and finish everything off with some Smokebox Graphics reflective stripes and Kadee 158 scale head couplers.
