Starting off with a car I got free from the shop trash this week, an Atlantic and Danville boxcar. One I'm keeping out of the lot, as it's rather different than most roadnames. Needs some trucks, but I can handle that.

Nice COTW's, guys. My COTW is my newly customized Airfix 12T van. All I did was paint the roof to make it look more realistic. The roof used to be the same red as the rest of the box car. Keep that in mind.

Nice cars. I dig the windows on the cupola of that Airfix caboose Ken. Don't believe I've seen a model like that. 50 pence? That's 77 cents US?

Pretty fine photo Walt. Is this a recent one from the layout you're building?
