I have a lot of Chooch freight car loads and nearly all of them are really very good looking with accurate detail and paint. But the last two purchases have been sketchy (see review of CHO7244) including this one. If you want the pulpwood load to look like the picture you'll have to paint it. This is un-Chooch-like because the product just isn't up to snuff and looks artificial, nothing like the illustration in the ad. I needed three and bought three expecting the usual good quality load. My mistake and I won't repeat it. Henceforth I will order only one of whatever it is I need until I can see it in person to be assured of ordering the usually high quality products. So I repurposed them to a log deck and bought the Walthers pulpwood loads for the Atlas cars. More expensive but definitely much better in appearance and detail. For me, at this point Chooch is on probation and I can't recommend this product for its intended purpose.
