Wow, looks sweet, compared to the original Bowser 50' F30A flat, you put a lot of work in to it!

I have an ongoing project of replacing the cast-on steps on my plastic boxcars with A-Line metal stirrups. Here is an Accurail car that I've finished. On the left is one that still has the old cast-on steps. This is a fairly easy mod that I think adds a lot to appearance.

Smile You're right John, it helps a lot

Well, seeing SOME PEOPLE think I only "like" yellow cars, I submit this Branchline Trains Blueprint Series Fifty foot boxcar lettered for General American-Evans. Still to be weathered...

Jim, I like the loading ramp. Did you make that or was it a kit?
