Re: The Modelers Thread
Yeah, I probably paid more than I should have, but it's brass and an N6b so way less than a plastic MTH caboose or what ever. I'll have to keep an eye out for the PCS trucks although not sure I will want to pay for what they probably cost lol.

Yes, I was looking at 2 of those and decided to walk away knowing that what I need is less stuff, not more.
Those trucks show up under cars on eBay and can be snagged for a good price - takes recognition and patience.

Very nice. I presume this will get a roof, but the sides will remain open?

I have heard of friction-bearing trucks but those bring a whole new meaning to that term!

Re: The Modelers Thread

That's a bit of overlapped single-ply napkin with some 50% aqueous glue.

Yeah, he does; some very skilled work with paper and cardstock.
That roof turned out nice, Rufus. Looks a bit like some of my 1:1-scale tarpaper work from years ago.
