A CNR Wood Boxcar - CNR5103 - 09-28-2018 I had a Accurail boxcar which didn't fit the era I am modeling. I stripped the paint off, carved off some molded-in grab irons and stirrups and replaced them with metal ones. I replaced the Fishbelly with Center Sills and added some brake rods and plumbing. Some paint and lettering from Black Cat Decals RE: A CNR Wood Boxcar - gna - 10-13-2018 (09-28-2018, 03:19 PM)CNR5103 Wrote: I had a Accurail boxcar which didn't fit the era I am modeling. Nice job. What did you use for the center sills? Are they from a Tichy kit? I replace the center sills on many of my Accurail kits--here's an MKT boxcar: I use evergreen channel, trmmed to fit.

I used those I didn't use in the USRA Rebuil Boxcar kit. I recently bought some 1/8" styrene channel for next projects. |
