Plans to build in 1 1/2" scale
|
Paul Catapano
I'm looking for plans for an outside braced boxcar, hopefully the braces are wood, to build a 1-1/2" scale car. Cars of the 1890's all seem to be sheathed, and cars of post WWI seem to be to modern. It can be a generic, since it is going to be scenery.
Please any help off list will be appreciated. Sorry to be so vague, but we're looking for a "stand in" car who's era seems to be important, go figure.

Cars of the 1890's all seem to be sheathed . . .That's because they were protecting those wood trusses from the weather. Even early in the 20th century, railroads (at least the progressive ones) were already using steel framing.

I build in 1 1/2 scale. I model the Clinchfield and am currently working on a CRR E-3 ex DRGW 4-6-6-4. I have posted in the photo section in a folder called 1.5 scale the boxcar ends and roofs that I have done. I will be doing 4/4, 4/3, etc ends and maybe roof. Also will be working on some gons and outside braced boxcars.
