After Joey post his new video on camera usage it reminded me I had wanted to design and big some short On30 cars for use on tight radius curve. Bachmann makes some cars like this now but at $60+ for a box of two cars I thought I'd do better building them myself. The box car is 18 footer and the ore car is a 15 footer. Both will get paint and decals after a little testing to make sure no issues.
18 foot box car.
Bachmann On30 Arch Bar trucks, Tichy steps, Plastruct ladder, Grandt Line brake wheel. Bodies are evergreen and Plastruct plastic,
15 foot Ore car
MDC Arch Bar trucks, Tichy steps, Grandt Line posts and Evergreen and Plastruct plastic. I used HO scale 42" wheels for a more heavy duty look.
I hope to build a few more of each for my fleet.......Thanks....I'll update when painted....
