here is the prototype. not the greatest reference pic, but considering this is probably the very first piece on a freight ever, i did it anyway. i had a G scale car that fit the bill. no way to know what was on the other side...im sure no graffiti since this is from 1974. been working on it for almost a year (off and on) and im almost finished. just have some touch up work to do now. yes it will be a full replica - weathered and everything. only problem is the car looks brown in this pic. the only proto of a 40' CNW box with yellow herald manufactured between 1960 - 1964 (which is probably the batch this car is from) is red and just looks brown because of the flik and years of weatherng. ill post the progression fliks once i get the wheels (maybe another month or two), dullcote seal it and gat a piece of track for it.
the 1/25-35 projects, are they trains?
