CB&Q NE12 Waycars

Wow! Just Wow! Thanks for sharing the work you do.

Yes, excellent work as always. Can I assume that these are spoken for? If not, I would be interested on one, unpainted.

Just curious, why unpainted? The CB&Q ONLY painted those waycars silver/aluminum. Plus, they are specific to the CB&Q as no other railroad had waycars/cabooses EXACTLY like these (the Wabash cars were  different).  

I've been painting my models for well over 55 years and really enjoy it. I'm a Burlington modeler, belong to the Burlington Route Historical Society, have written articles for the BRHS on painting and kitbashing and help edit several books on the Burlington Route. I also collect Q memorabilia from china, time tables, calendars to lanterns. I have 14 lanterns.

So if Brother Love have any of these available for sale, I would love one to custom paint and add to my collection of Q models.

Your caboose builds are EPIC!

Well, not quite. 

The first batch of NE12's were painted MOW orange, until the brass saw them.  Then of course, there's the ones repainted BN.

Hi Brother Love:

I want to buy one of your NE-12 waycars in 3-rail O-gauge decorated as CB&Q #13572 in the silver paint with horizontal red stripe.  The prototype #13572 is preserved & operates at Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.  

If you have a second one available, then please prepare it in 3-rail O-gauge in the MOW orange paint.  I will look into Randy Danielle's CB&Q Waycar  book to see what road numbers were prototypical to that scheme. 

Please contact me off-list with details.  My e-mail is in my profile.  

Thanks in advance !!!

Q waycars ready for final details. Three more are under construction.

Finished

They look beautiful, Malcolm!  Another great job by the master!

BL, there is a kit in HO, that l would like in O, if existed, on the Bay, that you might want to build in O for your own collection/ layout, as maybe related to your modeled region.  It is a Southern RR tobacco hogshead car.  I am going to have to see pictures of the prototype.  It looks like a car the guy heading the Strasburg O show would offer in brass...

Here are some pictures of Malcolm’s latest creation on the Rockford O Scalers layout.  Beautiful work, of course!
