These are my four 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 the first two (507 and 523) with 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.  I made the next two (531 and 540) out of a couple of MoPac decorated cars.  I painted them B&M Blue and used Great Decals RF&P pulpwood car set.  Some of these cars had the "RF&P" logo on the inside of the bulkhead, some did not.  The Walthers decorated car didn't come with that feature, so I added it to these two, for some variation.  These cars were common at the Westvaco pulpwood yard at Berkeley Springs, WV, so were needed to model that industry.
