Scratchbuilding a PS 5344 boxcar

Reinhard, thank you, but to tell you my "secret", most of the time working on this model is spent sanding. Thorough sandings makes a big differnce, without it, it would look only half as good.

AF350, I only recently made the change from HO to O, so 2-rail was the logical choice for me. I know O Scale Trains magazine. I browsed through their PDFs of sold out copies, and found some interesting articles in there that helped me to understand what is going on in O-scale.

Weather was horrible today, so I had a lot of time working on the car. Here is the result: the roof.
