A few new projects - foulrift - 12-17-2010 Well once again I have been doing some new projects. First up is a tank car.Now I have seen a single and triple dome tank car but never a two dome tank car so I took my three dome car and created one. Next I wanted to do something a little different with a flat bed truck so I took an extended frame truck that I had and added a truck bed using a flat bed trailer.I then added a cable reel holder and reels from GCLaser.The kit also came with a flat bed body which I did not realize. Lastly I took a single axle tractor,extended the frame,added another set of wheels and then the flat bed assembly that came with the reel holder. Enjoy.

Re: A few new projects - foulrift - 12-18-2010 Thanks for the comment. I think the look of the tank car adds some character to it. Bob Re: A few new projects - Ralph - 12-18-2010 I especially like the cable reel truck! Ralph Re: A few new projects - nachoman - 12-18-2010 The trucks are weathered quite nicely on that tank car . The two dome tank car I am most familiar with is the lionel version. There were prototype two dome tank cars, and even a few narrow gauge ones one D&RGW. Re: A few new projects - foulrift - 12-19-2010 Ralph-thanks.I was real pleased with the way it turned out. Kevin-thanks-what I did on the trucks was to first paint them rail tie brown and then follow it up with a rust wash. Bob
