Photos of my 40' BN Boxcar

Completed weathering my 40' Burlington Northern boxcar. It was always interesting seeing those "modern railroads" older boxcars in fresh paint. Car started with a Branchline boxcar with a 5-panel door (cannot remember the name of the manufacturer) and Tangent trucks.



Car was painted Scalecoat BN Green with a little Reading Green added. Decals are mainly Microscale but the correct size Burlington Northern lettering is from Dan Kohlberg's ICG Decals. Plano running board supports were added as was a corner grabiron.



The car was lightly weathered to represent a BN car that has not been in service too long. I do like those Tangent 50-ton trucks.

Great work, as usual, expect nothing less,

Well done, Tom!

Thanks. Here is a link to the BN car I modeled but my car represents it when it was younger. BN liked big logos back then!
