Insulated Boxcar Decals

[sailormatlac]

Here's the final result. The old Beavercraft decals were tricky to use, but things went quite smoothly in the end. I had to be creative to replace missing letters from a set of damaged decals, but was able to salvage enough to letter the second car. A big thanks to Glen, he made this project possible. This car is far to be exactly prototypical, but considering I started off with Bachmann cars, it's quite decent from an operation standpoint.









Meanwhile, my list of freight cars to weather is swelling too much for my own good!

Another modeller sent me a set of dry transfer decals for 40ft insulated boxcars. I found out I had a suitable model that will be repainted and correctly decalled later when I have time. With canadian dollar taking a serious plunge, I have much more reasons to bash cars and it's fun.

I have a few other projects like a CN 50ft mechanical reefer and, later, to scratchbuilt a CN woodchip gondola with correct dimensions. Printing the model is out of question, so it will be made out of styrene.
