Good morning from Sunny and Mild Northeast Ohio!
Got a couple of cars done this week!

Branchline 50' AAR Boxcar kit, which I am using to sort of replicate the Lot 968-B NYC Boxcars 1700 of which were rebuilt from 4 lots of 1944 AAR 40' Boxcars, I made a new side sill, lowered the brake gear and filling in all the holes for the high brake gear and ladders and substituted a 10' YSD Door along with new door guides. Painted with Floquil PC Green and lettered with a couple of different Microscale Sets.

Next a Tangent Scale Models Bethlehem Steel Gondola Kit, painted with Scalecoat II Black Paint and lettered with Herald King decals. Load was installed that I had purchased on E-Bay.
Since I did another PC car this week, I pulled and old PC powered train from the archives, SD45's with a grain train made up of NYC, PRR and PC Covered Hoppers.
Thanks for looking!
