Tichy Trains Flat Cars Kits - CNR5103 - 11-20-2018

This reminded me that I had similar photos lost somewhere in my computer. Here are two photos of similar kits from Tichy Trains I have built some months ago into the CP livery.

I think that it must be those cars which are responsible for the lost pictures....they're the only common denominator involved. Misngth Icon_lol

Yours look very good.
I built two of the flatcars as logging flats a few years ago.
I recently built the Tichy wheel car. It uses the flat car as it's starting point. I lettered it in CN livery.

I built the Tichy wheel car as a basic flatcar in MoW service, adding some low, removeable sides...

...then did the wheels as single-level loads to fit both 40' and 52' gondolas....

There were enough for two 40'-ers and one longer car, plus a few loose ones leftover as "scenery".
