Just finished up a couple of Rutland projects. While the baggage is not completely prototypical it looks like something you would see on the Rutland. They still were running woodsided cars in the 50's. These will bring up the rear of my milk train. Still finishing up the combine. I'll post pics. Next week. Both cars started out as MTH CNJ cars. Both were repainted using Mission Models paint. Highball Graphics is now providing passenger car decals after I inquired if the HO version could be done in O.
The caboose is a standard Lionel. A new brass smokestack, Tomar lights, Atlas trucks, some added grab irons and dry transfers from Ozark Minatures. I tried something different with the roof to represent canvas. I used some medical tape and painted it with a mix of artists black and white glue.
