Nachoman,

It still needs some detail like grab irons and a brake wheel and couplers as well as a replacement truck as it kinda broke, it was part of the On30 bash project I made a mold of the roof of one of the cars being bashed and glued up some sticks and bits of cardboard for the body. The Bill Guff's goat farm was a test to see if recycled cereal boxes would be a good scratch material. And it looks like it is so I have a stash of cardstock from various dry food boxes for mixing paint, 2 part epoxy and as a building material. I paid for the boxes so why throw them out? Another money saving idea is for those of us who experiment with casting and molding with 1:1 by volume 2 part resin do not waste money on measuring cups and stir sticks from micro mark they are a one time use consumables so go to a dollar store buy a package of clear disposable drink cups and a bag of craft sticks much more cost effective.

BR60103,

That can tank car is neat, because it is imaginative and it is made from real railroadania
