Managed to finish some cars this week!  Front Range kit that replicates the Southern Railroads converted 50' Boxcars so they could handle the new 45' trailers coming out. The trailer is an old Durango Press kit I had completed years ago. Car was painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Mask Island Decals. (New set that we beggged Hubert to do so we had something else other than the NS decals I have for this car)  Robbins Rails 50' PS1 Boxcar Kit, painted with Scalecoat II MofW Gray and lettered with Mask Island Decals. The CIRR later participated in the IPD car boom with some FMC 5347 which I will be doing in the future. Now for an in progress shot!  Atlas RS1 that I am going to paint for the M&StL. The M&StL had a large steam era bell mounted on the front of their units, so I had to move the walkway over the radiator shutters and since Atlas had indented the existing shutters where the walkway was I filed down the shutters to the base and will scratch some shutters to the right of the new walkway position. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski |

DTI406,
Nice job on the CIRR PS-1 boxcar! I have one as well (except mine came lettered for the CIRR) that I built in the early 1990's and later rebuilt around 2003-2004. I replaced all the ladders, grabs, and brake wheel details with InterMountain parts, upgraded the underframe with a DA detail kit, and made a few other changes. Surprisingly, it has held up well over the years.

Rick, Always wanted a Chattahoochee Industrial RR boxcar. I always got a kick out of the slogan.  Nice work! |

Didn't feel like reassembling 6 Athearn SD60's after getting stripped of paint. That castrol super clean is some seriously strong stuff. Every single detail part applied to Athearn or myself came off. All glue was pretty much disintegrated. So i got a bag fulllllll of tiny tiny parts to reapply. I'll start that this week. I did spend some time finishing up my SD33ECO. Finally got the correct Nathan P5 horn applied. Test fit Athearn handrail's on the shell since it's originally a tunnel motor with rear platform/steps from a dash 2. I will fix the handrails soon. I might attempt to drill out the athearn stanchions and run brass wire through.   |
