Freelance Shortline HO Hopper Cars - Athearn Bluebox PS 54' Covered Hoppers Milwaukee Road Heritage

Описание: Correction: I originally identified these cars as PS-1 cars. These
are in the Pullman Standard PS-2 class. Thanks to fellow YouTuber

Since I'm an operator more than a railcar rivet-counter, I'm satisfied with these old dependable Athearn blue box cars. This is a fun project that you can do too.

Overall, I'd say the most challenging part of this project was setting up the artwork on the side placards. I had a ton of fun though with modifying the Milwaukee Railroad logo to accommodate my shortline, the Morefield Southern. The tedium of cutting out and placing individual letters for was a factor too. However, I did that task next to a warm fire while watching NFL football. So I won't say I suffered much.
