Well the newest edition to the freight car fleet is a crown custom brass X-30 This car is beautiful I still need to put semi-scale wheels on it, sergent couplers, and of course weather it
A little info on the prototype: Originally built in 1931 this futuristic( I would imagine that is what you would think if you saw it in 1931) end door loading boxcar is a one of a kind with a length of 74.5 feet it was built to haul American LaFrance hook and ladder fire trucks from the plant in elkhart indiana to what ever city ordered a fire truck!!! This really neat car lasted into the Penn Central era
Now I just need to find a suitable American LaFrance series 700 hook and ladder for the inside
Next to a standard 40 foot boxcar
End Door
B-end
