Unboxing Rapido HO scale vehicles - and weathering them for the layout!

Watch as I upgrade my vehicles - from shiny out-of-the-box to sun bleached and dirty - With a bonus - Homemade license plates!

Great job on the wagon!

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Thanks M! I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. Take care - Bill

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

I did the same thing on all of my layouts Bill, I always find room for old family cars. Great job as ever. Look forward to some more gems next time, all the best Darren 👍👍👍

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Thanks Darren! I really had fun with this project. Especially when I accidentally “frosted” the blue one. LOL Take care - Bill

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout doesn’t pay to do them all the same😀

[@MMRails]

Did you smell the insides? Do they smell like beer and cigarette butts? No? Just my uncles? Ok. Great work! Love the weathering and small details you added.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

LOL! That’s hilarious. Glad you liked the video. Take care - Bill.

The Caprice wagons look like "Family Trucksters"! :)

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

I had to Google “Family Truckster” but now I get it. Funny thing, when I was a kid, we always had Ford Country Squire wagons!

[@derekalexander4030]

Yeah Steve, that was the Ford family truckster and the only car it was better than was Clark’s car after the flattened it, lol.

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

I literally burst out laughing when you said: "To be true to upstate New York, it should have holes in the rocker panels..." Awesome, and true.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

I know, right? 😆

[@mikeberthold1593]

Oxford just did our big release lots of neat old cars plus the 1966 Pontiac GTO

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Wow that GTO is sharp. I like the '64 Ford wagon too. Take care - Bill

[@derekalexander4030]

Those cars look great. I don’t know what it was but blue and silver paint never really did well on cars in that era. NY was one of the few that had license plates on the front and back and they did use that orange color. Where are you representing?

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

My layout is based on the Finger Lakes Railway, in upstate NY, 1995 to present.

[@donsunden5906]

could you not remove the windows the cars I have you can unscrew the bottom and pop them out

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Oh wow, I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!
