Well, I’ve managed a little bit of work on two recent projects that have been on the workbench for about three weeks. The first car again is an Intermountain HO scale covered hopper, lettered for Burlington, but being patched and renumbered/ relettered for BN.  Almost finished with this one, except for decal work on the car ends, trucks, wheels, and couplers. Photos here:

Next project again is this Exactrail covered hopper, which has different variations of rust going on the car sides, and a bit on the car ends as shown in the photos below. This car is done except for touching up the wheels and rusting the couplers.

Next project up on the workbench is two of the “yellowball “ PRR coal hoppers, one of which can be seen in the background in the photos above. Stay tuned!
