The pickle car project is near to finish! Good things need a time however they will take a good end!

Models were sent to my friend for painting - and short after a few of the queenposts broke. They have been made from a hard whitemetal (we say printer metal - a terne metal with a high part antimony) and so I must replace them, all. At a complete detailed model with trussrods and a complete brake gear! And, in addition, the available queenposts were still too short. So I soldered the queenposts on foot plates and I have get the correct height. All in all a really complicated repair however with a good result.

Yesterday I received a first picture of the first painted model. I think that that is a really fine work!
Cheers, Bernd

Thank you all for your friendly comments however I must say that a good friend painted the model and I think that he should get this honour.
Joerg, many thanks for your fine work!

Thanks again!
Joerg also has painted the Great Northern reefer that is pictured some posts before the pickle car. I think that he is a really good model train painter. (And I hope to get more models from him. However we are working together already at our next project.)
Cheers, Bernd

Today one more picture of my two other pickle cars ...
![[Image: heinzpicklecar_32kf.jpg]](http://us-modelsof1900.de/wp-content/gallery/heinz-pickle-cars/heinzpicklecar_32kf.jpg)
where the painter added a few aging and weathering to models - and you see that models are more sagged as the first "new" model.
Last a picture of these cars pulled by my new digitalized Erie L-1, ...

... taking here its first test run on a bigger modular layout at Fremo meeting in Unna/Germany - unfortunately not with a 100 percent success. However about this I will write in an extra thread later.
Thanks here to Don (Ezdays) for his great help that I could replace all these picture-urls (and in a second thread additionally) which were got lost by a server change. Thanks aagin, Don!

Yes! Three cars behind a giant!
And also this
25 car train is like a toy train for this heavy and powerful engine.
But - thanks for your commendation. I will pass it down to my friend Joerg who has made a really fine paint job.
Cheers, Bernd
