How accurate are these cars for SE prototypes? What do y'all think of it and the weathering? Thanks and have a good one, Justin http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=472053&a=7288478&p=24747667
Don't know about the accuracy, but the weathering looks ok ------------------ Alan The perfect combination - BNSF and N Scale! www.ac-models.com Andersley Western Railroad Alan's American Gallery Alan's European Gallery Alan's British Steam Gallery
Good job on the weathering, but those trucks are a friction bearing set, you need rollers on that car. As far as it being a Southern prototype, I couldn't tell you. ------------------ RAILROADING-TO-THE-MAX! Brent Tidaback, Member #234 and a N-Scaler to boot!
Great weathering job.... the car is far from prototypical (as are most LL cars) but your weathering makes it believable! Chessie
I can't vouch for the prototype, either, but I would hazard a Berwick Forge and Foundry copy of someone's design, and they are located in the SE... Miss.? It is notable for having a flat roof. The weathering is superb, Justin. Gary. ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page N to the Nth degree!
I couldn't find this particular car number in my SOU Rwy in Color book. I'll have to dig out my SOU Rwy Car Diagram books when I can get at them in a couple of days. The lack of side sills and the door type don't see to fit what I've seen for the Southern; however, I'm thinking off the cuff. As for other southern prototypes, you may want to post this question on the Seaboard or Atlantic Coastline forums on this board. There has to be a few Class 1s or shortlines in the south that used these cars. Either way, the model looks nice. I'd run it anyway. There wouldn't be many that could peg it as not being prototypical anyway Look Ahead, Look South
