A few freshly-done freight cars.
This one's a $4.00 Train Miniature car from the LHS. It was a new-in-box undecorated kit. Paint is Floquil with custom lettering from C-D-S:
Another NiB TM kit, formerly a CNR boxcar. I added a few details, some Floquil paint and C-D-S dry transfers:

This one's a similar TM car which was already in service, but originally lettered for PMcK&Y. Here it is in its new paint and lettering:

Another NiB $5.00 kit from the LHS, this one by Tichy. It replaces the original version of the one shown above. Paint from Floquil, C-D-s lettering:

Another $5.00 bargain, again NiB, this one by Sylvan:

The boxcar shown below is a Red Caboose car which I painted and lettered several years ago. While the B&O's M-26 boxcars were copies of Pennsy's early X-29s, the car shown, unbeknownst to me at the time, is too modern :oops:

A generous friend recently gave me another Red Caboose kit, this time for an early X-29. Paint from Floquil, with C-D-S lettering:

...and here's the earlier faux pas, re-done as a newer PRR X-29:

While I like this Intermountain SFRD reefer, it's a year or two too modern for my layout, so it's headed to a new home.

I replaced it with two similar ones, but painted them to represent the cars as they were originally painted. Here's one of them. Lettering is from Microscale:

Finally is this modified Accurail car. It represents a USRA-style wood reefer, a car from which the prototype steel reefers shown above were re-built. The older style paint scheme was done in Floquil, with lettering from Microscale, CBT Shops, and Champ:
