Here's a Rock Island coach built from Union Station Products car sides.  
Hey Bill, how would you rate the Union Station sides? How do you like working with them?

Donnell They are a little tricky in that they are very thin and care must be taken to align the fluting when gluing it in place. However the window openings are crisp and a good looking car can be produced from them. I just wish there was a Budd core kit available for fluted side cars. |

I kitbashed a master for a Kato E5 B unit. The shell is now in Silicon Rubber but I took two photos before I started the mold making process. I should have castings early this week if all goes well.   |

Is this the B unit from the Burlington Zephyr? I remember seeing this or at least think I remember seeing this unit as part of the Zephyr at the Ill. Rail Museum from A unit to end of train.

The Illinois Railway Museum only has the A unit and not a B unit but if they did, this is what it would look like! |

This is a Santa Fe 64 foot semi-lightweight baggage car built from a resin casting that I produced. Some cars were painted all Aluminum while others received a dark gray body with black roof and white lettering.  |

MP15AC converted from the Atlas MP15DC version using a resin casting.  Anyone interested in the castings should check out my web site Skytop Models |
