There wasn't a whole lot of progress yesterday due to a somewhat complicated freight car kit I built.
Front Range Products 4-car articulated spine car with piggyback trailers. A fun little purchase I got from eBay yesterday alongside a SPSF gondola and a CNW boxcar.

And the progress on the spine car set - still needs details adding to the coupler end of the B car, and a truck adding to one of the C cars. I used Deluxe Materials liquid weight inside the two halves of each spine car to give the model some heft, and will apply more to the underside of the wheel platforms if needed. I also plan to replace the wheels with metal ones for added weight. Should see it become quite sturdy.
