Construction is done on the Phase 0 car, ready for final finishing.
This one was solved pretty easily with respect to what this car will be when finished. It will carry block lettering. and is configured according to Bob Stear's drawing from the July/August 2016 Gazette as a pre-1925 St Charles 4 bd gon (1898). There is no left side grabiron, only two ladder grabirons to the right, and no lower grabiron on the ends or sides. Also, the brake platform is still fixed with two angled grabirons.
Two Phase 1's will be next up, and they will be slightly different in details from each other.
These four cars are all resin cast body kits from Cimarron Model Works. Quite an accomplishment from Bob Stears for all the work he did on these.
It sure is nice to finally, after all these years, have a few of these C&S classic cars represented. And it's been interesting to learn about them as well.
