A few days ago I had this new, clean Athearn RTR boxcar in the mail ..........nice, isn’t it? .....Well, too nice for my liking , so I turned it into one of those patched AGR cars – I love patches. The Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway is only a shortline, but they seem to have more cars than would fit on their tracks the same time and you find them all over Florida. I did not want to make an exact copy of an existing car, so I chose AGR 1012, a car I haven’t seen a picture of. But I know that all cars numbered AGR 1000 through AGR 1190 are exactly the type of car I am modeling and they all have black patches for the reporting marks. So my AGR 1012 will fit perfectly into the proto-freelance scheme of my layout.







I hope, you forgive me for doing this to the nice BNSF car :oops:
