Since I needed something to pull with my New Haven #8 and no one makes anything I decided to make my own. I started with an old beat up Olive 300 series observation i bought to EBay. The attached photos show the progress I've made so far. When it's done I'll post more. I also recently picked up a couple of newer production 327 coach cars that I'll repaint in the MTH New Haven tinplate scheme that they used in O scale. These should look good with my Flyer 4644 when I get it done.  Eventually I'll get a couple more of the short 300 series cars to go with the #8 and do them in NH also. I case you haven't guessed I kind of like the NH paint schemes.

I didn't realize it was a requirement to post there. As far as sharing I have shared with anyone who has asked any questions and yes I have received a few asking what paint i used, Rustoleum, how I applied it, Paasche airbrush @40PSI and how I stripped the original paint, EasyOff Oven cleaner. I like to post to show what can be done especially with old, low value items.
