Yesterday I received a package in the mail from Bruce. Again thank you very much. It contained 3 freight cars, 2 covered hoppers and 1 tank car. I quickly made work and started on the tank car yesterday. The details on the tank car are amazing and it runs smoothly with the other freight cars. After getting the tank car together I moved onto the two covered hoppers. Yes they both have the metal frames and required some sanding to get the burrs off of them. After taking care of that, I got them together for right now that way I can test them along with the tank car under the Christmas tree. Once Christmas is over, I will move on to getting the covered hoppers painted, numbered and decals on them. Below are pictures I took of the freight cars in the mixed freight consist.
The Conrail freight car fleet is slowly getting bigger along with leased freight cars and foreign railroad freight cars.
