David's finally building his tank car
#16
The tin was mounted on the frame using the truck screws (extra-long 2-56 from my stock). The railings and brake wheel were added.
The catwalk and hatch were Gooed on as well. I ended up painting the ends with Floquil over a couple of coats of PollyScale and an unusable coat of Badger.
I started to add decals but the film broke so I stopped. Most of the dates were out of date and the other descriptions were inappropriate.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.

On the layout. The Car "exceeds Plate C" so much that it is rubbing on the backboard!

After I changed the axles the car just takes off on my 2% grade and runs. Without the can it coasts for ages unless the spigot runs into something.
I'm afraid that it will have to go on the On30 layout -- if we ever build that.
