Proto CP Paper Car

The finished model with all the ladder, door hardware and brake wheel attached. I also added hose bags and Kadee couplers to the model. The weathering was kept light on this model.

I finally got around to working on my CP Proto 1000 paper cars. I have two on the go. One is from Peter Mumby while the other I purchased from my friend Chris Wright which unfortunately was missing the ladders, brake wheel and door hardware. I need to dig into my stock for that stuff. Captions tell the story. More on this car tomorrow...George Dutka  

My two Proto cars as they look at the beginning of the project. I had already done the roof on one about a year ago for an RMC article.

The underframe is given a coat of AK railroad wash followed by the rust tone included in the three package while still damp. Some AK light rust is also applied at the end.

The two products used on the models underframe worked out well with little effort. You saw how I did the trucks and wheels in last months This and That.
