    I finnished 3 sets of Alan Curtis Well Cars and one Walthers this past week. Here are the results.

    The new NSC All purpose.

    And the Walthers Thrall car. I picked this one up undecorated for cheap. I added etched metal grabs and platforms to the end platforms only as I had some left from a previous project.

    I also changed out the articulation joints. I used 2-56 screws from underneath through the truck, then through the car connections, and then attached a nut on top. I cut the screw off flush with the nut, and the crimping action of the cutters should keep the nut from backing off.

    Kind of hard to see in the photos but I hope you get the idea. [​IMG]
