Well I had planned on working on the 7/8 scale layout this weekend, but after two weeks of 80 plus, it drops into the 30’s and we got snow! What to do? Retreat into The Shops and work on some freight cars. Heres a wooden car based on an N&W prototype. I’ve created masters for the car, and and frame, and amcasting them as I go. These are the first test castings assembled…
Casting is a slow process, while waiting for the resin to cure, which takes a while at lower temperatures, I started assembling a ‘steel’ hopper from leftover styrene and styrene shapes!
