One of the positive sides of all the recent talk of 9v trains is that it got me
building again. I don’t usually post renders, but I liked the way this one
turned out, and I don’t (yet) have the pieces to build it.
Here is my version of Rutland Railroad’s boxcar #104:
Prototype information is here. Reading
through that page, there is some debate about the color of the roof on the
original cars. I went with yellow since that’s what most of the eyewitnesses
claim to remember.
Sadly, the Rutland died back in the 1960’s, but the bright green and yellow
boxcars make excellent models. The door is based on Chris Masi’s excellent
opening door design, which has become my default for boxcars. Sticker .dat’s
were generated using Scott Wardlaw’s sticker generator, and the trucks are those
that were featured in the first issue of RailBricks.
