The NMRA Garden State Division has started a model contest where you have to use 80% of a 50' HO scale boxcar shell. A model railroad manufacturer donated a lot of these shells to the NMRA, and the NMRA offered them to divisions and regions to use in clinics, etc. Anyway, one of our officers suggested a contest: So, that is what those beer cases are going to be used for. And, I did take knife to plastic, removing the doors from the shell. I also plugged the holes used for holding a cast roof walk. And, that's all I am going to say about it, right now.

Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33283 MarkF Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/10/2016 :  11:44:40 PM     Hmmm, sounds interesting. Are we supposed to guess, or just remain curious? Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13755 wvrr Fireman Posted - 07/11/2016 :  07:04:09 AM       Just remain curious, Mark. Chuck Country: | Posts: 6655 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/11/2016 :  10:41:59 AM       Chuck, Just catching up on your superb work. I downloaded your beer case artwork. Thanks, Dave David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2095 MarkF Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/11/2016 :  10:08:00 PM     quote: Originally posted by wvrr Just remain curious, Mark. Chuck Ok. I guess it's safe to assume it's not a Harsco gondola! Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13755 wvrr Fireman Posted - 07/12/2016 :  02:40:40 AM       No, not a Harsco gondola. But, a very good guess! But, I did receive an email from Tichy recently about custom decals: "In addition we are now offering custom printed decals from your artwork. Sheets are 8.5 x 11 inches printed to within .1 inch of the edges. Sheets are full color (cmyk) plus white. If the sheet is all white ink do the artwork in black and tell us it is white, if the sheet has mixed colors pick a unique color for the white portions and we will substitute the white here. Artwork should be vector (corel or adobe illustrator are best). Either do outlines or send any special fonts along with the artwork. We will let you know if you used a font we do not have. We can also print from a high quality PDF. First sheet is $35, additional sheets are $15 at any time. At this time standard postage is included, priority mail is $5 for any size order. Turn around is normally one week." It has me thinking.... Chuck Country: | Posts: 6655 MarkF Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/12/2016 :  10:53:45 PM     Oh no, what have I started? Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13755 wvrr Fireman Posted - 07/13/2016 :  2:02:18 PM       Well, I already worked it out in a sheet, Mark. At least if they were all HO scale. It works out to enough decals for 44 cars. Maybe I'll post this over on Rick's page to see if it festers. Chuck Country: | Posts: 6655 MarkF Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/13/2016 :  4:15:06 PM     That's cool Chuck! Heck, I'd do some for deliveries made on my layout from Harsco! Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13755 wvrr Fireman Posted - 07/24/2016 :  10:11:28 AM       OK, back to my boxcar project.... I painted the shell white and applied decals made from the artwork I created. Chuck Country: | Posts: 6655 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 07/24/2016 :  10:23:04 AM     Are those custom Tichy decals? George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16783 wvrr Fireman Posted - 07/24/2016 :  10:45:24 AM       No, George. A friend of mine ran them on his Alps printer. I created the artwork and sent him vector files that were the size I needed for decals. Chuck Country: | Posts: 6655 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 07/24/2016 :  12:14:43 PM     The decals came out great, Chuck. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33283 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/24/2016 :  7:33:28 PM     Perfect Chuck. Jerry "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.
