2:35 "The big standard 'Do not hammer on the side of the car' in red, very clearly visible on the side of the car, there." Almost as clearly visible as the hammer marks all over the side of the car! 🤣
Very nice alternative to other copies of the same hopper and other cars from the various model manufacturers. *Trinity's 6241, ARI/ Greenbrier 6224, Greenbrier's 6250 and FreightCar America's plastic pellet covered hoppers aren't made as of yet. Trinity have the most popular one on the rails today. Tank cars too especially the sodium Hydroxide cars.
Impressive stuff you guys are doing.. looking forward to buying some GP40s. I find it very fascinating class one was able to leverage the Overland archives for color matching, among other things..
Guys, fantastic how-to mounting video. A question: what styrene thickness(es) were used to make the four "pre-made" angles that were welded to the deck? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the deep dive into this. I have been planning this very thing for my SP in the IE Layout. West Colton will be tough, but now I think if I have the light service building in line with the sand and fuel towers I can then have a few ready tracks and be golden. I don't think I have space for the heavy shop, but we will see.
