Scratchbuilt Z scale 70' Woodchip gon

Quote:Since you plan on making more than one, wouldn't it be worth your time to make a master for molds & castings?

Galen, it would require four molds and a initial outlay of $70.00 to get started in casting these and the coal porters I am also planning.I can scratch build the 56 bodies for around $30.00 .

The biggest expence in this project will be the trucks at $6.50 a pair (MSRP) times a total of 56.I am in no big rush as I have till March of 2010 for the eight woodchip gondolas and September 2010 for the 48 coal porters.

I am hoping to double the size of my layout by March and will definately have it done (runable) by September. :mrgreen:
