Here's a short article by Tony Thompson that discusses the reweighing requirements and how they were handled:

Tony models the SP, but his articles on freight car modeling are worth reading no matter what your prototype happens to be.  In this article he applies the finishing touches, including the reweighing data, to a CB&Q XM-25/26 kit:

Hope this helps.

I just bought a freight car model that came with a reweigh date and other fresh data very close to my modelled era.  I'm wondering what kind of treatment cars would have received as part of this process, mostly so I know how much weathering to apply.  Would freight cars be washed or would they just clean the patch where the new stenciling would need to adhere. that kind of thing.

As always, any help appreciated.
