Baggage Carts

Peter and I picked up a couple of boxes of Jordan Products baggage carts that became our first project this fall on our work day Mondays. At about the same time I visited Don and noticed he had completed a group of baggage carts also. I thought I would share our views with you...George Dutka

As part of our workday Monday Peter and I assembled three baggage carts and painted the luggage. A finished Jordan baggage cart from a past build is seen in the photo.

The baggage carts got a coat of flat black from a spray bomb.

Peter and I used green and red chalk powders to colour our models. This was done in a short amount of time. The baggage was then glued down.

Don had a large amount of baggage carts on hand. He decided to build them all at one time in a assembly line process so he could get them out on the layout.  Don Janes photo.

At the White River Jct. station platform a number of baggage carts are seen loaded and ready to go.

My most recent baggage cart is at the New Haven station.
