I am in Oklahoma City for the annual train show this weekend. I will try to post some photos later after things get set up. Here is a shot from a past show.
Got a few things done this week! Anderson's car #7 done, still have 5 to go as I picked up another one cheap! Tichy Kit painted with green tinted Model Master Aluminum paint and lettered with kit supplied decals. When the 45' Trailers were introduced in the late 70's the railroads did not want to put up with only 1 trailer on a 89' Flatcar. So the Southern Railroad, scrapped some old boxcars and made them into 50' Intermodel Flats to handle 45' and 48' Trailers. Since most trailers were now loaded by crane there are no bridge plates and the light weight of the car was lowered by omitting sections of the flooring. This is an old Front Range kit that was molded after an article of kitbashing these cars in Model Railroad Craftsman Magazine. Car was painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Oddballs Decals. Trailer was also supplied by Front Range, painted with Floquil Platinum Mist and lettered with Microscale Decals. (This is a two for one special!) Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
That's some great modeling, Rick. Well, it's that time of the year to start looking for a Christmas tree.
