This is my first attempt in wood in On30, also have an S scale auto rack car that is waiting for me to get a better resistance solderstation as the one I made just barely works well enough for the project 
The S car is being made out of a sheet of copper.
I like the look of narrow gauge rolling stock that has the appearance of being engineered on the fly with what ever the railroad had handy. On30 annual is a great inspiration, for those who prefer HOn30 there is an HOn30 publication from carstens as well.
If this project turns out good may do a series of cars built on the basic "GFC" concept. As I post progress I welcome pointers and suggestions from those who have been scratch building awhile or anyone else interested in doing this kind of modeling.
