Haven’t been very active with the trains until recently.
I picked up a used 4 pack of Atlas stock cars for $20 at our local shop Trains and Such minus trucks and couplers .
I was looking to add a few CP stock cars for my roster but the cost of used Lionel ones are out of the question at this point in time.
I need to figure out how to print out my own decals. I also added Kadees to the cars as my goal is to convert all my rolling stock as funds permit
I found a nice spot on the layout to incorporate a stock yard on the layout which I thought would look good. Just not sure if I should just scratch build one or purchase a used Banta Models laser cut kit for $120 at the store(don’t have any dough right now lol)
I also removed my last reverse S curve issue on my layout and made it possible to install a 10” piece in between.
This was necessary as my Heavyweight passenger cars are slated for Kadee conversion and maybe some locos for double heading as well
Here are some pics of the stock car project and a video of some trains dusting off the mainline
