They are styrene parts but are almost as challenging as fitting resin castings together I am trying to build as the kit diagram shows the other 5 I will more then likely make some changes to at least one set of sides and maybe make a mold of them just for fun.
The fit is not perfect even with flash removed from parts I guess this qualifies as a kitbashing project. The manufacture is Locomotive workshop. May add the doors and door slides latter today. Kinda wanted to paint car but too wet out and do not have a paint booth
I have 3 choices paint wise, They will be BFT box cars maybe red w/white logo and lettering, brown w/white lettering or gray w/black lettering I have enough parts to do one of each and if I cast some copies maybe some variations of the 3 schemes. I have been meaning to do a Gauge box car and a GERN box car as well.
