Sylvan SS and Westerfield USRA boxcar

[cnrglen]

I finished off the walls up to assembling them on the frame:



All the grab irons and some of the brake fixtures are installed before the main assembly. I also glued the tack boards onto the end walls and the doors. I found a photo of a Cn boxcar that has similarities to the Westerfield kit and I've been taking a cues from that.







One modification that I had to make was the addition of a second grab iron on the sides of the car. It's a 'modernizing' feature. The kit includes extra grabs and 4 very small NBW castings to be installed above the grab ends.
