 James,
    I agree!   Building them is a pain.  ;D

Progress is looking good though Scott!

I know where we'll see them next too  ;) ;D ;)

So many cool paint schemes to choose from too! I can't believe we don't have these in either RTR or kit form yet....

Maxi-I indeed!  (The Trinity reefer is also high on my list.)

Just saw Scott's photo on TB earlier today and am very keen to see it finished.  What scheme are you planning?

Cheers,
Gary

P.S. Hurry up and finish it so we can get that RTR announcement.  :D

aimed right at TrainCat Models.  Certainly not something anyone would think Walthers could take on.

So far, that is the only one that catches my eye and seems like it has a chance to actually be made. I see the various waffle side CSX cars every day yet there is nothing out there to represent them. I think part of the problem is which version do you pick? In that shot there are two different patterns seen and I have picked out at least 6 or 7 that I can recognize on trains going by.

Keep your shirts on, I am almost done with the artwork for these two. I would have had them done already if the day job would have stopped interfering. I'm using a new process, Etching & water knife cutting since these will be made of heavy gauge sheet. Heavier sheet will allow the car to be properly weighted and use less of a sheet to yield a quite reasonable price

Kaslo does. But it's a car that travels far and wide over North American rail, mostly hauling lumber though there are many variations in steel and aluminum service. It would be a great model RTR.

Patience . . .   ;)
