F&C CV 36' boxcar kit in use on the WRD. |
The completed kit along with another that needs to begin. The F&C kit comes with decals. |
The PanPastels are applied and the model still needs a light over-spray of Foquil boxcar red. |
The finished model. |
Looks like my newest addition is heading to WRJ in a CV work train. |
I saw the first photo of this car on your "Wordless Wednesday", which left me curious. It was far enough from the camera and lit so I couldn't tell whether the ladder grabs were cast on or not, and looking at an Accurail 36 foot car on my workbench, I coulda sworn the body details were the same -- note the brace on top of the door! So you did a wonderful job on the F&C, but many could well find a quicker solution with an undecorated fishbelly Accurail -- provided Accurail ever does one, or someone can identify good decals.
ReplyDeleteHi John:
ReplyDeleteI have two Accurail models in my stockpile to convert also...thanks for your comments...CDS has dry transfers I think that might work although they are for another CV car...George
