New resin flat car kits for PRR and B&O modelers.

This is the project I mentioned I was helping with in the "lowering the FVM boxcar" topic...

The top of the coupler box is molded into the underframe of the body to raise the coupler and allow for the lowest ride height possible.

I've been working on the B&O decals for Jeff and working on the PRR MOW tonight to finish them up. He is taking orders now but won't be able to ship till the decals make it to him sometime next week.

Would be nice to get one of each car instead of two of either one.  They look nice.

Chris,
 The only difference is the decals.

This is cool, now we have another accurate PRR flat to add to the list. Still waiting for the F39. Jeff has made some nice parts to add to the old MP P70's, so hopefully these kits will be quality offerings. Thanks

Tony,

Is the car a single resin piece, or is there a place to add weight?  Not that it should matter much if the car has body-mounted couplers.

The car is two pieces, with a cavity for a weight between the underframe and the car body.[
