Starting things off with a quickie Moloco car I finished up. Just some light weathering for a car that's been pretty recently repainted, with brass air hoses and Sergents.  |

John Tyson's incredibly beautiful cab car visited the BI&W last night for a road test. It rolls nicely. The carbody is a new 3d print by Tom Brandt. John used the Walthers interior, undercarriage and wheels in addition to recycled parts from his earlier Resin Bilevel car project. This one simply nails the look of an in-service car on an average day.
The 3d shell is the best model of this car available now, made even better by John's technical skill and artistry. Enjoy!
On the diamonds.
In the storage yard on the embankment.  |

Tom, that is truly fantastic! I remember John's resin car project (I believe that was here, but could have been on the old Atlas forum - it seems like it's been a while). He was doing some incredible work with that one, but I recall there were some challenges, something with the resin not filling a couple spots in the mold properly, maybe. I was curious what become of that one. I'm glad he was able to practice with that first model and apply those lessons (and parts) to this car. Beautiful! Dave |

What matters is that he has broken the ice. Now someone can actually contemplate releasing it in plastic. It's only been 60 years of being told they're "too regional"... It also occurs to me that since most of us who run push-pull only view one side of our trains on most days, that the open vestibule is not a problem IFF it's on the "unused" side. |
