Just finished modified an old Athearn chemical car by removing the single dome and adding new dome castings to make this wine tank car. Finished weathering it today.

Gosh I wish some manufacture would make one! 

 

But would you buy a wine shipped in tank cars?Stick out tongue

Once they pump the wine from the tank car into a box, who is to know? DrinksClown

Here's a "new" mechanical reefer plying the rails of the BSR, taking some sort of meat product to the AGWAY warehouse:

I also started working on my  entry in the N Scale Vehicle Association's CMW R-190 Challenge:

I usually post completed pictures, but as nothing has been completed in the last two weeks, I am submitting these. I was checking my progress photographs and I can't believe it has been a year since I last worked on these ExactRail PS4427 kit cars!!  ConfusedOops

Installed all the roof walks, brake wheel platform, brake wheel, hand grab on the roof walk and the cut lever.  The second picture shows the cars ready for painting.  The car with the placard will be for the Anderson's and the other for Monfort out of Greely CO.

Cars have been painted since these pictures were shot earlier today and will be ready for decaling after gloss coating tomorrow night!

Thanks for looking!

Rick J My 2 Cents

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
