Here are a few more recently finished freight cars.
This is an Eastern Car Works Airslide 2600 CF Covered Hopper, lettered with Microscale Decals.
This is an Accurail 6 Post 50' Boxcar. Lettered using three different Microscale Sets for all the lettering. This car used the PCA reporting marks and no herald as the leasing company wanted to be able to quickly grab their cars back if the PC bankruptcy went so bad as to dissolution. Class X71 was used for clean loading, mostly paper products.
This is an E&C Corrugated Side Gon Kit. Lettered for the MP using Oddballs decals. Most MP gons were painted boxcar red, but according to legend the manufactiurer in Mexico wanted to know how to paint the cars so they sent a black and white picture of the current car, and since the paint looked black in the picture the cars were painted black.
Thanks for looking!

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!
Jarrell........Great looking scene.
Here's my latest rust bucket.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Lets get this kicked off this morning!
The area I've been working on for a while shows a couple of Southern Rwys trains passing each other up in the Flannigan Hill area. Both are Bachmanns, a 4-4-0 and a Consolidation.
Still a lot of work to be done here, it looks too CLEAN to me!
