So the enforced time spent on the indoor layout has not only resulted in work done on the physical plant of the railroad, there has been construction of new rolling stock as well. First up is a Type1a boxcar.
Its basicallu a copy of the stock commercial model made by Bachmann:
I actually started this rolling stock spree a while back by assembling the basic box carbody and frame from styrene sheet, I even was nice enough to engineer a jig for bending office staples into grab irons, a a drilling template for mounting the grabs to use on this reefer
It too started as a copy of the Bachmann basic box, but I added and refined a few details that I think makes it look even better
