CV Woodchip Car

The brake wheel platforms, wheel and housing are attached and ready for paint. I just touched these up with appropriate paints using a brush. Floquil paint was used for the brown.

The CV woodchip car I purchased at Springfield this winter was made from a Rapido model. The brake wheel needed to be changed to resemble the CV hoppers. The platforms on the CV cars are a bit longer than on a normal hopper. I worked on this model the same time as I did my CV hoppers. The photos tell the story...George Dutka   

The new pieces are painted MIG black followed with a bit of PanPastel powder on the wheel and platform.
