I managed to complete a couple of cars this week. This is a one of the kind Class BX-77 Boxcar, Rebuilt in 1958 from a BX-66 Boxcar with a cushion underframe and DF Loader, this was the forerunner of all the Santa Fe Shock Control and Super Shock Control Boxcars. Car started off as a Branchline kit, with Details West Extended Coupler Pockets and A-Line Sill Steps. Car was Painted with Scalecoat II ATSF Red and Black Paints, then lettered with Microscale Decals. Next up is an Eastern Car Works, 1958 CF ACF Covered Hopper Kit, outfitted with Plano Roofwalk, Various Airlines and A-Line Sill Steps, then painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray and lettered with Highball Graphics Decals. Car was used for transporting foundry sand from Yuma, MI to the Ford Engine Casting Plant in Brook Park, OH. The Ann Arbor and Detroit and Toledo Shoreline Railroads contributed cars to this pool. Thanks for looking, Rick Jesionowski
My newest addition. What a wonderful kit. I think I will be adding another one to the layout. I'll be adding a road up to it as well as clearing some of the "grass" that is around it. Thanks, Wolf
Candy, the clock inside is a real nice touch! Here's a Santa Fe mixed train pausing at the East Hannah Vista depot late one night.... John
Nice work, Candy. I just had cataract surgery and was having trouble reading it too! LOL Glad to see you back. You must be feeling better now.
Photoshop is a magic program. With help from my Russian hacker friends I can create a new virtual reality. And then......... Try to take over the world. Hee hee hee.
Uh, Candy; I think your clock battery is either dead or unplugged. It's showing the same time as the first photo. That is, unless you took the first and second photo at exactly the same time the next day. Just sayin'.....
