Ah, that takes me back. My first HO layout was NH set in 1910. I made a good number of such boxcars. Nice work.

Google image... use 'railroad boxcars' or 'railroad boxcar decals' for the search. Or look up 'OO boxcar sides' for some old timey stuff.

I know where Bob plans to run his and it is fairly safe to say I'll run mine somewhere similar !*roll-laugh*!

Love the old rollingstock, thanks for making it happen...

!*cheers*!

Thank you, Mike !!howdy!! !!howdy!!

When I had my HO layout I thoroughly enjoyed building these old wood-sheathed boxcars and weathering them with casein paints. Now I can enjoy your models as well!

!*cheers*!
