Hi , Heres my latest scrath project , Im building 5 to go in a string with I-beams as a load Thanks Tomas
That's a great looking car! What did you make your bed from? How did you attach the trucks? With MicroTrains releasing flats every century, being able to make your own speed things up considerable...
Good to see there are still scratch-builders around. Good job Tomas, be sure to show the completed cars.
I'd also like to see the finished car. There's a lot of things like this that need to be scratchbuilt (in my case, 60' flats) and it's always good to see someone reaching forward a little.
Hi again The cars are made of plain evergreen plasticard. I post more detailes next week , I dont do all the details under the car as I plan to build a couple of hundred in all sorts of styles , A military train of 35 cars for instance , I build them 10 at a time otherwise I would go nuts , ; ) Tomas
I know what you mean about going nuts. I did individual planks for the wood decks on the 60 footers, and definately had evil thoughts while isntalling them...
I have a picture around on my drive of one of those cars in BN paint. When I find it, I'll post it.. I also need to finish the frame of this... Kel
