On30 Stock car

[wesley]

Hi guys

Here are some pics of an On30 stock car that I built earlier this year. Its a kit from Dave Mason at On30ima. They real fun kits and are super easy to do. I bought the trucks and couplers from Dave aswell.

Look forward to your comments and thoughts.

I am a VERY VERY big fan of the wood and metal kits!  and this is very well done!

I have a number of Ratio OO kits (circa 1950's) that are 100% wood and brass - no plastic at all.  I am not a big British outline fan, but made a compromise just to have an excuse to buy these kits!

So far I have built one cattle van, and have a bloater (fish van) about 50% assembled...
I still have to build the 20T Toad (caboose/brake van) Ratio Kit #889


It is just so much different to work with wood and metal than plastic...

Very well Done Wesley!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Ill post some more pics of a gondola i built later on.

Francois I totally agree. I love working with wood kits. I have a few resin box cars lying here that will be built someday, but its not the same as wood.
