So watching the all the Boxcab love going on around here I thought I would post some pictures of an ongoing project. I acquired a Tom Yorke Boxcab kit last year (thanks Tom!) and thought is would be perfect for my 1:20.3 Rail Contractor’s Train. I’m still working on the unit, and the photos do not show all the details, but I can tell you it’s a fabulous kit. I have taken a few liberties while building the model. I opted to model “steel” doors, rather than the ones included in the kit (handles still to be added). I also “re-powered” the unit with a CAT generator I found at this year’s Big Train Show and, of course, the Contractor’s safety officer deemed the footboards to be too hazardous - so they were left off the build. Wipers came from the parts bin on the workbench. (This build is intended to model late 1980’s era equipment, though no specific prototype. More on that to come.) (Now lets see if my first post from Photobucket works) Enjoy!
