Okay, enough done to give idea where freelance coach/caboose/combine from HLW coach body is going I forget who sent me the body and frame last year (2009) or even if he is on this forum; but whoever you were, thanks Idea is to use some 3 foot cars as inspiration and come up with multi-purpose car for freelance line Willow Creek Traction. Think it will look pretty good on tail end of mixed train behind HLW “Sparky” 4-wheel trolley loco.
(NOTE: motor block is not in Sparky right now) WCT colors are GN Glacier Green or NYC Jade for freight and orange with maroon trim for passenger stock. This is going in orange which makes plastic color helpful for assessing how this joker is going to look. Roof is just going to be a simple slightly arched roof --> NOT interested in trying to build a clerestory roof. Might fill in excess cupola windows, might not. Baggage door will slide forward under cupola. Might say toilet is under cupola too; or might be located at front right windows for a nice sized compartment. Trucks? Now there’s a question. Kind of leaning toward Bachmann passenger trucks.
