Hello,
it is time to continue this thread. There were still two PRR 36' box cars awaiting completion.
A very frustrating aspect were the running boards. Looking only too sharp and, they brittle into pieces.
So i decided to make new ones out of 0.5mm styrene (not so brittle) sheet.
Later i replaced the running board of the second car also with a styrene one.
Next step was painting the two PRR cars, here together with the D&RGW H0n3 car
These are really old cars. Standardized arrangement of grab irons and other safety devices were still in the future.
With the underside i did'nt make a show and let it partially unpainted.
What is still missing are period typical decals.
