Re: Freight car projects
This little project is coming together while I grind away on the Moraga....
....and will end up on the to be painted queue shelf fairly soon.

Did you know that if you put your ear up to a stranger’s leg you can hear them say, “What the F’k are you doing?”
Re: Freight car projects
Look forward to seeing it in paint. I love the rivets on the vertical braces.

Re: Freight car projects
Is there a prototype for this car or just an interesting idea? What do the tanks hold? It would certainly make you do a double take running or sitting on a layout.
Re: Freight car projects
Beautiful work Rufus, but what is it? It's intriguing.

Re: Freight car projects
When I was very young I remember a similar water car parked in the SP yard at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz. It had only one tank, with the little house occupying the other half, and it was painted boxcar red.

Western or Northern Pac had one of these; ran across an article on it a while back and thought it might be fun to make something close....
What do the tanks hold?
Fuel oil car........

Re: Freight car projects
Love the straps holding the corners together. Had to be some pretty heavy duty trucks if those tanks were full of fuel oil.
