Pairing off this week, I found some non-blue Conrail cars at the Timonium show a few weeks ago. Playart brand (Charmerz), at $4 apiece I couldn't not get them. That show was a blast, lots of good stuff for cheap. :) This will add to my growing Playart rolling stock collection.

Great find, Jerry. Congratulations.


My car of the week is this robin's egg blue boxcar, paint finally mostly done (mainly what's left is the roof walk, which is going to take separating some of the robin's egg blue paint into a separate container and thinning it a bit further)

My car of the week is a Hart gondola. I added a ballast load.

Appropriate. Ballast haulage is what a lot of Hart's cars were for, isn't it?

Who was the model's manufacturer?

I'm pretty sure it was made by Train Miniature.
