WV&K General Freight Cars

When we bought my wife’s car in 2006, it had styrene signs advertising the dealer in place of license plates. I used them for model-making. One small problem to watch out for is that the ink on the sign can make for weak glue joints.

I just make sure that I use the unstenciled side for glue joints…or use the belt sander for ‘roughage’…

The Roof was made out of a styrene "No Parking" sign from the local hardware store......where else can ya get a 12 x 18 of styrene in that thickness fer $3.99???
Wow. No more plastruct for me!

Over the weekend, the reefer got a roof, and platforms for the ice hatches.

Did I mention Ice Hatches? The master is done for casting the hatches too.

Finally rolled the reefer into the paint shop, got the lighter color on this morning, and should mask it off this afternoon if all goes well…get my lazy car painters to do some stencils…

Looking good, Bart. But aren’t they supposed to be Hunter Green and Almond? :wink:

Geeeee…I thought I’d just paint 'em purple…

Iffen ya do that, the logo won’t show cause it’s purple…

That will save him from having to put logos on…
