PRR DB4 containers Who wants to make'em?

Thanks David, that's what I thought they were but it was difficuly to see in your early pics.  I would definitely be interested in a pre-chained version, but I understand completely if you decide not to.

While you're redoing it, how about sanding out the decal film on the rivets?  They appear to have a batten where none belong.

I think that is Scotch Tape masquerading as belt rails.  Note the lack of decal film around the hatch rivets.

I would like to have the tall round top type and coke as well .

First it was Pot and now it's Ho's and Blow.

Well, they used to bring reefers into Pot yard across the river in VA.

I'm diggin' version 2.0, can't wait, now I have to put some gons together....Speaking of Bob, thanks for making the decal art work available. Hopefully, someone will step up and make these available for all, 'cause money is lying on the table.

I think I might be getting some of the help I need to finish the artwork into a form for Microscale. Everything runs on $$$$ and the outcome of the show will be a deciding factor of the speed to market.

Hopefully, the show will be a big pay day for you. If you're going to put out the decals, I'll wait on you. I'll be getting the PRR tower....by mail. Thanks

After being on indefinite hold, the pole transformers are back in the works. The issue I was having originally was that they were almost impossible to de-mold. I've since switched to a different, much higher quality mold material, and I believe the problem will be solved.

Much win!

I also took the opportunity to make other improvements, including better definition for the hatch parts, and the double-row of rivets along the bottom sides under the drain holes. I think the results are worth the extra effort.

Always impressed with the opportunity to better the product.  Even though these are no where near my era, they are pretty impressive.

Look at the horizontal rivet strip mid way up the container sides, then look at the prototype, and hit me back.

Seems trivial to me. Very trivial.
Does he have the correct number of rivets?
Go ahead. Count them. 

My P70 coaches have 2 columns of rivets instead of 3. Good enough, says I!
We are getting into that completely arbitrary area of what we choose to accept. If we were that concerned/insane with details, we'd be in O.

Or, he could just be trolling us all to begin with!

Guys, it's decal film not rivet counting.  It would take 5 mins to sand the film to blend the edge and then it wouldn't be carried through in the castings.  If you notice, DKS already spent a lot more time fixing the chain rollers, so he's interested in a good master.
