I like how it looks still. It is lettered for a freelanced short line project far in my past, the Fall River Railway, and it is also one of the few cars I have ever attempted to weather. It is built from strip wood mostly, with some scribed Northeastern siding on the ends. It rides still on Scale-Craft trucks that were given me by Temple Nieter, although I will probably upgrade it soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still after all of the years I am happy with this model, it has held up well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working on various projects one of the books I refer to as a resource is an old Kalmbach publication, Easy-to-Build Model Railroad Freight Cars.
