Hello there fellow lurkers
Now, I’ll accept that I have been particularly lax in posting my achievements
over the latter half of the last year, and John’s message was just the kick up
the a## I needed to stop lurking about and get my camera out. Sorry for the poor
quality of the pics but I havent been able to get and decent natural light up
here in the frozen north - but they are just work in progress. I have yet to
sort out any decals or engraving, and I have not got anywhere near instructions
for my designs, but that is my intention.

to your musical taste)
FreightCar America Bethgons of various styles
FreightCar America Bulk container car
Generic triple spine car
Thomas Burger’s excellent 60’ Centrebeam

It was my intention to keep the feel very much of Lego trains whilst making real
looking cars, hence they are six wide and forshortened. I have also tried to
develop a particular style for all my freight cars which is not necessarily lots
of true prototypical details, but the key car features and a similar style
ladders, brake wheels and air reservoirs across the board.
The details I am most proud of (and will now showing off by way of drawing
attention to them in a long winded way) are:
- The clean colour breaks on the Bethgons so you don’t get colour creeping out from under the vertical tiles
- The ‘I’ section sill beneath the bulk and spine cars
- Getting the lattice on the FlexiBeam remotely half reasonable looking.
That’s my two penneth
Play Well
Chris

| Are you kidding me? SIX DAYS without a posting in trains???? This really sucks. And I only have myself to blame. And I blame the holidays for my recent inactivity, but that only goes back so far.
