Re: Another Postwar Boxcar

NYC Postwar boxcar with route cards.  Tony is correct.  It does’t take much effort to add route cards, but it adds to the prototype look of the car.  I went back to check and saw I missed the route cards on the last few cars I built, ever since I stopped using decals for the route cards.  They have now been added.

You are correct.  I realized that after taking the photos.  Route cards will be added today.  I had been adding them with small pieces of white decals at the same time as adding chalk marks, but sometimes they would show woodgrain or the groove between boards on the route card holder, so I am going to try thin paper.

 

     I have occasionally used decals for this, but prefer thin paper, white or yellow or manila. Grab a dot of the canopy glue and you're done <g>.
