    Is This Custom? - Interesting Boxcar Purchase

    I bought this boxcar on EBay last week. It is made by Roundhouse Models. In the pictures it showed an EOT device mounted on the back which I thought was interesting. When I received the car, it arrived with the chassis separated and inside the shell was this circuit: The batteries are...

    Athearn Boxcar Kits

    I've gotten a few of these kits lately, and I have been looking to assemble them. The problem I am running into is that I can't get the doors onto the bottom rail. The top rail is removable, so it isn't a problem there, but the lower rail has a sort of hook to it, and I'm apprehensive about...

    Old Athearn

    One of my favorite pieces of equipment is this old one, an early Athearn boxcar that, despite its age, still manages to carry on.

    O.K., one last one! Hehe. After this car, I'll lay off for awhile and wait for others to post. This is my newest car...a secondhand FMC RAIL BOX box car aquired by CSX TRANSPORTATION. The patch and worn-out graffiti are inspired by the real car. This was a FUN project. CSX has some crazy cars!
