Two more for the collection

 Nice timing
I just finished these 2 cars

I say good timing because just this weekend National Scale Car has begun shipping to the US again, now that they've figured out how to navigate the maze of tariffs.
These were an interesting project with the Duryea underframe to build and an uncommon slack adjuster. And one should not forget to note the interesting roof and ends for these cars

Useful projects to have on hand to get us through this rather harsh winter.

More cars are being worked on and a rather interesting project is in the offing
I'm building a window display layout for the Local Hobby Shop, photos and details to come
Later

 

Sunshine Models CRI&P rebuild #

 Sunshine kit #64.54

 Progress continues as I work through the stash of kits accumulated over the years.
This Rock Island car being the latest.
I have a real affinity for the variety of rebuilt cars that were present back in the day.

This model started with the stock Sunshine kit with improved details.
Rivets were added to the inside of the corner notches
The end ladders used etched ladder stiles to better represent how the prototype secured the grabs to the ends
Laser cut running board

Painted with Scalecoat and weathered with oils and an overspray of dirt

More cars coming 

Speedwitch Media C&NW PS-1

 

Sort of the last of 2025, or the first of 2026.
Another one of Ted's more recent offerings.
A really neat car. I confess an affinity for 40' Autocars. Much like the BX-34, Ted has included a large amount of photoetch details.
There's a clear path that Ted is on with his newer kits, and I for one, am fully onboard. I welcome the challenge of newer techniques and finer details.
But next will be a couple of NSC mini-kits that I've ignored for a few years now

Happy New Year
