Finished assembling a McKean model of a 50' Frisco box car

[twforeman]

The model was pretty well molded, and pretty detailed, though the parts are a little "chunky".

The paint was well applied, but the printing of the Frisco logo and the rest of the data was not completely registered and was off more on one side than the other. So I modeled one door open so it covered the worst part of the logo.

It's only a year old at the time of my layout so I can't make it super weathered to hide the bad printing. Well, I could, but....

Anyway, here's a photo.

Very nice and great idea opening the door!
I have a couple McKean cars but they’re no where near that detailed, must be older runs.

Funny thing I had a bunch of them from 1990's in those red and white boxes (like 3 dozen or so).....I sold them all. Kinda wish I hadn't. Oh well.
