I felt it was high time I started to build up some cars for an empty stock car train - well, after all, I am modelling Chicago.
After rummaging through my stuff I managed to gather together a paultry 4 stock cars, a result of not having any stock pens on the layout.
However, I like the delicate look of planked stock cars and am eventually planning to have a run-through option for Sweethome Chicago, so I've started to pick up some of the nicer models as I spot them.
In the last 2 weeks I've managed to collect an extra 5, more than doubling my fleet.The new ones still need some weathering and a coupler change, but the train is starting to grow.
Here are the stock cars as of tonight.
I've also shot a short video clip although YouTube will take a while to upload it, so I'll post the link later.
