WARP 10 Car Kits

[Schraddel]

Hello,

@Wayne
There i had time to waste and have reed your posts. Yes your Westerfield Fowler CPR boxcar is the same as mine. Further i presume whenever one of these old Westerfield cars made of brittle resin falls down from the layout onto the floor, fetch swab and dustpan, salvage trucks and couplers (no demounting necessary) and the rest disappears into the dust bin.


@All
Next task was to built the second CPR Fowler car:






Starting with two walls and the bottom plate. The pieces of PE foil were cuts from the plastic bag which contains the small parts of the kits.





After several hours passed, the second side was mounted. Look how ist is still warped.





Again several hours later, to straighten out the warping, some robust frames were created.





And this was my solution to handle the brittle door rails. I glued them onto the brass stripes laying in the kit's box. My hope ist this reinforcement will give enough strenght for this delicate parts.
