Very nice work, Greg, especially the "sideswipe" streak of rust!

Greg, I went to your blog and enjoyed your other models. The "b" end of your LO shows a
weak spot that can be corrected with almost no effort, the brake wheel. DW makes a set of
very thin wheels. They include all of the popular styles. Just a idea.

Bobby,
I noticed a few things on my large photo I am going to correct. I have a bunch of those brake wheels and I think I will change it out! Thanks for the suggestion!!

Greg, you should have painted it cascade green if you are modeling it in the BN era. It would look a lot better thats for sure. Your buddy

Glenn,
BN did not have any money to paint old cars...mostly because they are bunch of tightwads!!!
See you soon!

I love it, very nicely done!  I've seen numerous untouched GN "Big Sky Blue" 60' woodchip hoppers while out railfanning, so this model's right at home! |

At least the brakewheel is painted the right color.

Painting that ladder stile is a nice, realistic touch, too!  |
