Well, the desk is mostly done (daughter is painting it, and when done, I'll assemble the components).
This allowed me to get back to the TH&B hoppers (I still need to scratchbuild a TH&B caboose, and a TH&B Consolidation...and maybe some passenger cars, too).
Here's one of the upgraded original cars, ready for some paint, before I can add the final details...
...and a close-up view of one of the brake release handles, a seldom modelled detail (that re-weigh date will be amended, too)...
This is one of the models representing the cars not yet upgraded to AB brakes...
...with a similar handle for the brake release...
The next step will include some partial painting so that rivet decals can be added, and that followed by full painting of the undecorated cars, along with lettering and weathering.
Here's a photo of the parts that will be used when I'm able to get the additional four cars....
...with notations to remind me where to place them.
