Any excuse to not work is a valid one.

Being able to hold someone regularly is very important.
Decals are easy. Dont fear them.
Theres plenty of online guides that do a much better job than I could of explaining it all.
But generally, apply decals to gloss surfaces and let setting solution do its thing.

On the bench is a handful of the new improved Walthers Amfleets. They actually roll fairly well. Slowly adding number decals to them.

Big Four (CCC&StL) boxcar #4058. This car I had sitting unlettered for months and I finally decided to just throw some decals on it.
A couple newly finished and weathered cars, a scratchbuilt MDT reefer and a Big Four boxcar from a Bitter Creek kit.

The RPO baggage has gotten grabirons and window panes in the doors.
All thats left now is some steps and finishing.
