The first two BAR cars were Springfield finds. I added separately applied grabs to the boxcar and detailed/painted the interior of the chip car, as well as made a load. Both were cars done for the Eastern Maine Model RR club and aren't my work, however, I like them so much I figured I'd show them off.
These three were a Springfield find as well. All I had to do was weather them and remove some reporting info and now they are good to be used in captive service at Gaspesia Pulp and Paper in Chandler, PQ.
This bulkhead car was scratched from the Walthers 52.6' model. I remember seeing these cars as a kid at Nouvelle, PQ carrying unwrapped lumber loads out of the Temrex mill. These were all ex CN cars painted by CFMG at ERS in Campbellton, NB, when they were first acquired in 1998. I believe all are scrapped now.
The final car is my favorite and literally cost me nothing but time to make. Sean provided me with the decals and a friend provided me with the cheap tank car a while back (it was originally to be used at the Chandler Mill until I scored the above three RTR Proto tank cars for $40). I detailed the car and painted it to match a potable water car often found on work trains across CN's network.
