2 things that I have been putting off for awhile. A third ACF heavyweight Burlington RPO/Baggage car; my favorite RPO by far. Just love the ends on these cars and Oriental Limited did a magnificent job with these models in my "opinion". This is the third installment for me on these cars; and these things are RARE!
.... I just shipped off the first one I did to a guy in Lincoln, NE from a customers consignment collection at Caboose Hobbies. I did that car back in 2006; paintwork was marginal, trucks terrible (needs Roger's beauties). The second one was built for a friend in Minnesota and now this car. As you guys know I am a Burlington and anything West fan so its a must! I just love this car despite the fact it isn't perfect. Roger Lewis's masterful Wasatch trucks are the crowning end to a fine piece of art.
This guy was a long awaited treasure to get my hands on.. W.A. Drake AKA: my friend Bill McClung imported these from Wusung Brass (WBM) incredible cars. Still a 3 dome tank is a rare thing these days in O scale regardless of vintage or quality.
