Here is the almost finished coil car that came from storage back east. I’ve been able to work on this car more than I thought I would have time for, and here it is below. This is the second coil car I’ve weathered for the Hitop. The manufacturer of this car I’m unsure of, I picked this car up at a train show in 2009 in Ohio. At some point one of the lifting rings on the NYC hood broke off, as well as two stirrups of the car body itself. This is why the car is ALMOST finished, as I’m awaiting replacement stirrups. This car has been weathered with washes, Vallejo paint, and Vallejo rust texture. I also installed ACI plates from BLMA. Photos below:

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......
