New project.....freight car never modeled in O scale..

Must be a Pig Palace!

Here's one for your next project. This is how they loaded that wonderful car, Chevy Vega. Don

Is that a side-dump car?

The HOGX 50 footers were originally built by Gunderson Rail Cars in Portland, OR as auto parts cars for the Missouri Pacific, and were later rebuilt for the HOGX trains.

Wonder how the far the stench reached?

Maybe I should do one for Porky Pig?

AMCDave, Can't wait to see your updates.  Your projects are always interesting, fun, and motivate me to try more advanced techniques.

Thanks for taking the time to post them!

THAT didn't take long!! 

I've drawn my plans....placed a order with Plastruct...will work on frame until parts come.

THANKS

Probably right they were never made in O scale (as in mass-produced).

They were made in HO scale by AHM and Overland.

The AHM HO car is the Genesis of this project. When I was in HO I bought 5 of these. Upgraded them with metal trucks and Kadee couplers.  I wanted one in O.....but in hunting info on the cars I found the AHM cars were pure fiction......and the HOGX cars were maybe the inspiration. So I decided to make the HOGX cars.
