Illinois Central 18403 Box Car

Lester Breuer
 

I have completed the build and upgrade of Illinois Central box car 18403, a steel modified 1937 design box car.  My build included adding resin cast corrugated proper height doors and door guides, new “B” end details as shortened upper rib, wire grabs, ladder rungs, etc. And, paint, lettering from several decal companies and weathering with eyeshadow and Pan Pastels.  If you are interested, photos and write up are now available on my blog I have to share photos and writeup of modeling projects on my Minneapolis & Northland Railroad Company.  If would like to take a look please do at the following link:
