IHB boxcar finished
|
The C&A was a B&O subsidiary and later was absorbed into the GM&O but in 1950 there were still a small number of 40 foot War Emergency (51000 series) and all steel 40 foot (52000 series) box cars that still had their C&A lettering... :-) On 5/18/2022 5:21 PM, Charlie Duckworth wrote: Having started with the Mopac and having to see interchange made between the MP/TP/C&EI/M-I, I’m drawn (for some odd reasoning), to the various subsidiaries the Class Ones had. So the layout has a small population of FW&D, T&NO, I-GN, StLB&M, B&A, P&LE, NJI&I and now an IHB car. --

The decals showed a light weight ‘new’ year of 1944. On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 9:38 AM radiodial868 <radiodial57@...> wrote: Those Tichy kits are very underrated. Sure wish the Tooling & Die guy had got around to making some additional prototypes. --

Those Tichy kits are very underrated. Sure wish the Tooling & Die guy had got around to making some additional prototypes.
Your build is beautiful. On the IHB decals, any information on when that scheme was first used? -- ------------------- RJ Dial Mendocino, CA |

Another NYC subject (this makes three) recent builds; the National Scale Car decals are so well researched I used them on the Tichy kit, the Westerfield modernized 1916 boxcar and Intermountain’s 10’6” 40’ boxcar. TruColor Rock Island FCB mixed with a couple drops of ART yellow for the carbody. Light weathering with colored pencils and a few chalk marks with white pencil. I upgraded the kits parts with wire handgrabs, flexible rubber air hoses and Tangent cut levers.
