Hot off the press….

stevecampbell60,

Just arrived on the Hitop, a nicely detailed Evans 50’ cushion coil car lettered for the DT&I. This car is a Walther’s car, and was purchased from the great gang at Spring Creek Model Trains in Deshler, Nebraska. I can’t recommend them enough for having the latest and greatest plus the hard to find, their great customer service, and their prompt shipping. Don’t settle for imitators, these great folks deliver!
This car will be used in conjunction with several others for use at the Peterson Tool Specialties kit by Walther’s. I intend to pick up this kit for use as some sort of steel manufacturer. Below is a photo of the Walther’s kit:

I’ve researched prototype photos of this coil car, and can’t come up with a good enough photo, so I’m going to have to perhaps use another prototype car for weathering purposes. Below is the car out of the box. I’ll post my weathered car when this project is finished. Stay tuned….!

I have been a railfan since the age of 6, and a modeler since the age of fourteen. This is my first fully (well not quite) completed model railroad. I fell in love with trains early in life, ride them when I can, have volunteered on many steam fan trips and have ridden many more steam excursion trips, have belonged to several model rr clubs, and did a stint as a brakeman/conductor on a midwest regional railroad. My layout was published in Model Railroader magazine in 2016. I hope all of you enjoy the ride here on my sites! I now have the second blog/website up for my other hobby: wargaming with Flames Of War. I have been involved in wargaming off and on since my teens......

  1. Steve, just read an article in MRH about turnout with DCC. The author talked about t(e necessity to use either frog juicers or stay alives or preferably both. Is that what you needed on the Hitop?
