I Have Completed the Super Structor for Mini Flats

Well all are completed with the exception of the gondola sides which need to painted and weathered. I am waiting on fasteners so that I can attach the bogies and couplers.

A Quick Repair

I took a short break from my storage tank builds and have a Lynton & Barnstaple Railway boxcar from Nine Lines for a quick repair. There was a small gap on the body that needed bending where I use a bit of baking soda and a cyanoacrylate . Next step to give the body and roof a good base coat.,.

Selly Go Devil Kit

I found this model on the last page, page 7, of the Selly line of products. It was their #608 Go Devil Kit and sold for $15.20.It is funny how we come back to things when the time is right. At the time I made this post I don't remember being all that interested in this small flat car when I first saw it.

I am in the lookout for small flat cars with loads since I started my building of the four short fat cars. I realize that it had been offered in HO gauge, but thought it might have converted to HOn30. Well at least I would have the crane gear to transfer to a HOn30 flat car if the body turned out to be too difficult to convert. That got me thinking, if I could come up with enough crane parts I could just fashion my own.

Project Trays & 3 HO Model Train Projects

I found this tray at a local discount stores. I purchased two of these and thought they might be a great thing for my current projects. All parts are visible and readily accessible.

From left to right: A brass box-cab locomotive under construction, four mini flats (see this post), and a miniature gondola kit, which was found amoung a collection of HO gauge detail parts.
