Chuck,
All are scratched except the 27 box. It’s a PNG kit.
I use scribed siding, basswood strips, Ozark and PNG castings.
Trucks are Accucraft and R & K Railroad products.
The 2 40’ flats ride on PNG Andrews trucks.
All are 1:20.3 scale. Decals by Stan Cederleaf.

I still have Derrick OP, it’s idler flat and the work car, plus a 40" bunk car to finish.

It’s been a fun winter in the shop.

John - really nice work. I’m lucky if I have time to make 1 car over the winter - how do you do it? :wink:

Hey John,
Looking gooood! I see you have a DSP&P Tiffany Reefer. Care to part with it? I need one to go with my DSP&P Live Steam 2-8-0 and Bogie.

Thanks, Guys!
Pete,
I’m retired and don’t have a life other than puttering in my shop. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Noel,
Decaling that Tiffany was a b*&^%! I tried to keep it as close to prototype as I could.
There are no known photographs showing Tiffs with ice hatches and no color pics.
Some authors say white, light gray, ivory, etc. I went with ivory.
So I think I’ll keep it. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
