These are my two Westvaco owned pulpwood flat cars.  WVCX 500-544 were all 50' pulpwood flats that matched the Walthers model very well.  All of the cars were acquired second hand prior to 1982 from the RF&P.  I started with two RF&P decorated models.  I faded the car with Pan Pastels and used a sponge to apply the rust.  The patch outs are black decal film and Microscale stencil decals.  Interestingly, the real cars had no space between "WVCX" and "523".  The spacing was the same between all the characters.  These cars were common at the Westvaco pulpwood yard at Berkeley Springs, WV, so were needed to model that industry.
