Six months or more ago, I assembled an Nn3 EBT hopper car kit. It was a novelty gift my lovely wife gave me for Christmas a couple years back. While I put it up on my blog, I don't think I ever posted it here. So, here are a few photos of her:

That's the components of the kit

Here's the styrene I cut up to fabricate the end platform as well as my "scratch built" brake cylinder and reservoir.

The car, my finders, and mat for scale....it is a 1" grid.

The assembled car.
Insanity occurs periodically in me. Usually, a fruitless search on ebay for cheap Z-scale mechanisms ends it.
