Hey All,

Charlie asked about this project a few weeks ago (a few months ago?)…He has sent me a couple of photos of St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern cars from the early 1900s. (Charlie, I hope OK to post this one that you shared).

I am working to make at least a stand in for one of these cars using a Bitter Creek Models 36-ft truss-rod car and Tahoe 5-ft Archbar trucks. K4 has a decal set that I think will do. The Bitter Creek model is a wood and cardstock model with a number of metal, wire, plastic detail parts. They are fun kits to build. Here is the progress so far.

I used the MoPac boxcar red paint from Tru-Color (TCP-139) as a guess on color. From the photo, I am thinking I should make an end door on the A end of the car for lumber loads.

I will follow this up with additional progress.
