how about fallen flag boxcars | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Scratchbuilder1-48OGR Forum Member

Here are 2 more to my collection of scratch built resin cast Hy-cubes , maybe the real railroads could bring back some fallen flag schemes. These boxcars are still out there . By my shop on a siding was a 4 door Wabash , the icon Flag and lettering was painted over but you could tell what it was . I did not have a camera with me and when I came back the next day it was gone.The one weathered car was actually still in service , in Michigan as I referenced a photo on the DT&I modellers page.There are over 160 individual pieces of brass and styrene used on the 6 piece casting . Plus the custom decals.I believe from my research SP was the only road with the outside braced design . It was the hardest scheme to paint but is my all time favorite . Bernie

Wow..nice models!! Really nice finishes. Way too modern for me, but definitely look

like what might pass by in your face now as you wait for the gate to go up at a grade

crossing.

Yep, too modern for my PLUS I'd have to hinge them in the middle to get them around my curves What radius curves do they require Bernie?

Scratchbuilder 1-48,

Your scale models are beautiful and realistic in appearance.

Fabulous modeling.

Atlas O, Lionel, MTH, and Weaver should be paying you to copy your models for the rest of all O Scale operators.
