Well, the Des Plaines X29 is inching closer to the paint booth. I've added the tack boards(from an old SHS parts tree) the stirrups and made some roofwalk end braces out of Evergreen strips.
What surprised me a little, but shouldn't have, is the X29 is even lower than a USRA steel rebuilt boxcar.
Now, all that's left to do is excavate my airbrush and paint booth.
