Well here is my New Haven boxcar!  I started with an Intermountain car but looks like you started with the better detailed Kadee car. |

Finally got some more cars done this week.  Eastern Car Works 2600CF Airslide Covered Hopper Kit, Added airline under side of car and lines from the Air Reservoir to the Triple Valve. Substituted A-Line Sill Steps for the Cast ones. Painted White and lettered with Herald King Decals.  Intermountain Railway Company 60' PS Fisher Body Car, Painted Black and ATSF Red and lettered with Oddballs Decals.  Athearn 86' Hi-Cube Boxcar, removed cast grabs and replaced with ladders to more replicate a Thrall Car. The AA had purchased cars from the GB&W that were manufactured by both Greenville and Thrall and were used from Ford via Ferry Service across Lake Michigan to the Ford Plant in Minneapolis. Per photographs had to cut the letters and apply individually so they would be in the proper place on the side of the car versus the diagram included with the Herald King decals. Added Details West Extended coupler pockets and A-Line Sill Steps. Thanks for looking. |

This is an old pic, a few months into the hobby. I was given some old trains, and this was an AHM that hadn't been run in decades. It was pre-DCC, but the big ol' MRC gave plenty of juice to take her down  Not good modelling, but I still get a kick out of this pic.  |
