    these are bashed. sorry about the small pics. Still working on my computer skills. In my railimage album the pics are better.
    I take a boxcar, strip and sand, scrib the sides and add .008 brass rod. Paint, decal weather.
    It works with Micro-train cars. the ribs don't obstruct the door. I've made about 20.

    Marty-

    Making twenty cars sounds like it would take up quite a few hours! But the results are a unique car that is quickly recognized! Anyone modeling any railroad, 1970's and earlier should have at least one!

    Puget Summit Models was closing out all their 40 and 50 footers. Don't know if they have any left. JnJ also makes them. And a ribbed caboose. I have some of the PSM. Have yet to try JnJ.
