NYCZ 207688
 
40-foot Fruehauf trailer, Penn Central (NYCZ 207688).  This Penn Central trailer still carries New York Central reporting marks.  One of the few trailers I've done with a simple paint scheme.  I airbrushed the Micro-Trains body in bright silver, while the electrical area on the nose was masked and airbrushed a medium gray.  The marker lights were highlighted with Testors Turn Signal Orange or Stop Light Red, whichever was appropriate.  The Micro-Scale decals were applied and oversprayed with a satin clear coat finish.  the wheel bogie hardware, tires and trailer stand were painted flat black, while the hubs were painted bright silver.  The trailer was dusted with pastels, then the heavy diesel exhaust residue on the roof and upper front corners was airbrushed repeatedly with a grimy black wash until the desired build-up was achieved.
