Scratchbuilding

Two Scratchbuilt OO Scale Pulpwood Flats

I noted in a recent eBay auction a car very similar to these two CN pulpwood flats.

These were made by Pierre Bourassa, as was the car I saw on eBay I believe. The shorter car of this pair is built on a Scale-Craft frame (box car or stock car) but the rest is plastic. The longer car is pretty much all plastic. It has a removable load, while the other does not. On this one I replaced the trucks Pierre used with a pair of roller bearing trucks modified from old HO Central Valley trucks. The shorter car has his original Scale-Craft trucks which may get replaced at some future time.

I have some other interesting scratch built modern cars from Pierre that I will come back to in future posts.
