Well, here's the last update for now on this thread.
I just finished the last 3 custom models for my collection.
First, the second caboose. I choose a retro design with rivets and more windows. So the style is totally different to the other caboose I have.
Next I made 2 Soutern pulpwood cars from Atlas boxcars, nearly the same way as the Southern build those cars in the 1950th.
I cut the boxcar shell down to the frame and let the end sections in place. Some styrene was used to close the end sections and to form the new floor.
Cheers, Gerd
