Thank you everyone for the nice comments on the two boxcars. Finishing next is a Speedwitch NP 50’ boxcar. By tomorrow morning the flat finish overcoat on the decals should be dry and weathering

I've been carefully studying the Ed Hawkins/Ted Culotta tabulation covering almost 93,000 AAR boxcars built between 1936 and 1947. Having chosen long ago to model the time period from fall 1940

Mr. Sullivan, I'm glad you enjoy your cars! I think I saw one of those photos come across here of the UCR cars in log service, and it was very intriguing. These cars and kits are definitely a labor
