Nice stuff Rufus

Thanks, guys!

That car was a lot of actual fun (thanks to clan DeBruin!).

Bit of a rebuild exercise here. Shows what poor shipping + Fed-ex tossing the box about will do to a model,







but I have the parts



Matching the paint might the biggest challenge....

[Rufus T. Firefly]

This is coming along nicely.....



Should be done in a week or 3 weather permitting.....and a decision regarding lettering, etc.

And finished.....







Working on a 2nd one of these baggage cars, although it's an outside door version, and then it's on to the Robico kit cars. Was looking that stack over..... 2 to repair thanks to crappy shipping, one to restore/repair and save, 3 unbuilt kits, and then 2-3 others that are either restore/repair or just get salvaged for castings/parts and toss the leftovers.

Nice job. Really resurrected that car.

This Baggage car was actually a scratchbuild exercise.

I'll be getting into the 19th century PRR Robico kit cars soon. Not sure what I'll be able to do with the rebuilt/restore cars - colors are mismatched and painting them to match might be a tricky adventure.
