Help needed for weathering

[kevsmiththai]

Hi all

Anybody got a decent color picture of a 12000 refrigerator wagon in service or in fact any of the white reefers?

 

I've got a rake of Tenshodo Z ones that are far too white and clean and need weathering and toning down a bit and I'd prefer not to have to put my shades on when I'm running them!

 

 

Also did JNR ever run trains that were 'Fish' only as a block train

This is the limited express fish reefer train “Tobiuo” (flying fish)from Hatabu in Yamaguchi Pref. to Tokyo:
