    I managed to get a couple of cars done this week!

    [​IMG]

    First off is an Intermountain 1937 AAR Mod Boxcar Kit, replaced the sill steps with those from Yarmouth Models, much finer steps and being metal won't break. Painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Oddballs Decals. The MP had a number of subsidiary railroads, the International Great Northern was the railroad that complied with Texas Laws that required a railroad be incorporated in the State of Texas in order to operate.

    This is an Intermountain R40-23 PC&F Reefer Kit, the NYC received a number of reefers from PC&F, again I used the Sill Steps from Yarmouth Models on this car. Car was painted with Scalecoat II Reefer Orange, Boxcar Red, and Black. The NYC used these cars to move fruit (mostly bananas) from eastern ports to customers in the midwest.

    Thanks for looking!

    That is a great trestle scene. Your scenery skills are excellent.

    Those houses are nice models. Reminds me of Leave it to Beaver's neighborhood!

    Good name for that street. It does look pleasant. Like a nice neighborhood of which to be a long time resident.

    I was just thinking about you, Candy as I opened this thread because we have not seen you lately.
    A very homey scene, indeed. Good to see you again. :)

    As nice as the houses are, it was the shrubbery that caught my eye, with the great variation in colors. Wonderful!

    This is a project finished a while back, what started out as an undecorated Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0. I just covered the factory paint with glosscoat and applied decals. The factory paint really popped when the gloss was applied, so I did a couple of publicity photos before weathering it up.
