A Picard Novelty kit, or at least the bare bones of box car or reefer that can be assembled. After that, the only limits are the imagination and the set of dry transfers that got stashed in this project box. Carpenter's glue and clamps time........

I found decals for the PRR X-23 car and Clover House printed a few sheets of the road names I model. Eventually, I'll get on to the brass X-23 car that's in the other queue.....

Kinda hard to fit Cumberland Valley letters between all the bracing. George It was a total PITA! But even fitting Pennsylvania in between all those OB is a test of patience. In part, that's why I'm putting off doing the brass X-23 for a while -- I need to re-stock on patience! Back to the Picard novelty car.... To act in the world is the only way to understand it.

If it weren't for the intermediate pictures, I would suspect magic at work instead of patience and skill. Bob.

I could have picked up another 10-12 of these two weeks ago in Chicago, and done another 10-12 of these, but I managed to exercise some restraint.
