Here's some of the links I've been able to collect. This is a list of SN3/2 manufacturers:

http://www.trainweb.org/crocon/snarrow.html

This is Rio Grande Models Sn3 page. The Sn3 tool car that I built for the last model challenge came from here:

http://www.riograndemodels.com/S.htm

And then there's PBL:

http://www.p-b-l.com/

Also, Keith Wiseman of Wiseman Model Services has the old Triangle Models Sn3 line. His Sn3 kits and parts are listed on eBay and can be accessed through his website here:

And B.T.S., too, for some rolling stock and structure kits:

But this is a really good one...Backwoods Miniatures:

I have arranged a meeting with a few of my mates, Barry Pate, Paul Dundas, Graham Meyer ( and maybe Alan Rocket ) at the home of Bill Black on July 12th. I will update photos regarding his Sn3 layout. Spoke to Bill the other day and has been completing a number of kits.

These are a few shots of my Sn3 gon before it gets prepped for the paint shop.

**slimrails** · 06-28-2008, 11:32 AM

Right out of the paint shop! Those interior boards sure do get beaten up, ya know?

Next comes decals, flat coat, and weathering.

**Frederic_Testard** · 06-28-2008, 12:00 PM

Nice work on the gondola, Russ. Do you plan to add some peeling paint effect to the sides? Harry Brunk's pictures of coal cars - as he called them - in his long series "Up Clear Creek on the narrow gauge" in the Gazette showed quite a lot of peeling (much more than paint...).

Russ, what's your philosophy about this thread? Should we post all our Sn3 material there or have separate threads for each subject?

**slimrails** · 06-28-2008, 12:46 PM

This is the Sn3 place for now, so post 'em if ya got 'em! This car won't be a peeled-paint job, just a dusty one.

Russ

Thanks for posting the latest progress on the gon. Looks great and the beaten up interior boards add the right touch.

Thanks for the comments, Guys, I really appreciate it. The decals make it look like something now.

Unfortunately, the data decals that came with the kit fell apart in water, so I'll have to get a decal set for this type car and finish it up another time.

**hon3_rr** · 06-29-2008, 05:27 AM

Great job. Are you going to rust up the trucks and wheels? I can see that I am going to soon have to break out my kit and give it a shot. Thanks for starting this forum.
