They remind me of the old days when I started out building Scotia Scale Models 36' trussrod frieghtcar kits. Years ago I bought and assembled a Scotia Scale Models kit, it was a 2-pack of a 36' logging flat in HOn3, I built and finished one of the cars, but didn't have anything to run it on. Also have about half dozen Juneco Scale Models kits of their CPR caboose, most are still in the box, except for one where the basic body was assembled and that was that...

Just have to get them both lettered now. Martin, these 2 are winners as well! Your level of craftsmanship displayed on these 2 cars is something special indeed! Really beautiful work! Looking forward to seeing you letter them!

George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16583 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 08/21/2012 :  11:34:50 AM     Thanks, Guys! These 2 came out better than I expected and that LVRR car was hard to part with, but the new owner is very happy with it, so a good deal all around. 2 gondolas are up next....

Country: USA | Posts: 2296 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 12/09/2012 :  10:28:28 AM     The gondolas got leapfrogged by a few cars that need a bit of restoration or a little cosmetic work to put back into active status. 1st up is a relatively recent acquisition that's in fairly good shape and just needs a bit of cosmetic touch-up and a bit of TLC to get back into active duty.

In the 1-1 world, what kind of load would it have carried with that barred door?

In the 1-1 world, what kind of load would it have carried with that barred door? These are produce cars - generally called "watermelon cars". Ends have louvered vents as well. Got several of them now - the PVRR one is an All Nation kit car. The ACL car is another All Nation kit car - partially assembled car that I picked up at a MER NMRA convention for $10.

If those are decals, you have done an amazing job of applying and weathering.

Those are all dry tranfers from Clover House which I personally find to be a tad easily to apply - I know others don't - but there's no decal film to deal with and you can push the letter into the siding neatly. I'll probably be building a large group of baxcars and reefers just to be able to use more of the Clover House stuff since they let me make a fleet of rather distinctive from an early era.
