I enjoy model railroading surprises. In the mailbox last night was a gift from a friend.

2 new pieces of rolling stock

A pulp car and a Covered hopper.

The pulp car is a MCBT car labeled for one of the Michigan Interstate’s subsidiary companies. Everyone who knows me or seen pictures of the layout know it’s based around the paper industry. Pulp cars fit in very nicely

a bit of damage in shipping to the side supports but it’s an easy fix

The shocker and very pleasing surprise was a car for my own freelanced Wisconsin Interstate. I’ve mentioned in the Diner how I need to expand the WCIS rolling stock with the Wisconsin Interstate reporting marks. Friend Greg McComas wasn’t waiting any longer for me to get going!

I’ll fix the pulp car when I get home and then find or build a pulp wood load for it. Weathering will come eventually but Monday I will just spray a flat coat over it and the covered hopper

Be well
