Well I have had some mass production going on of HOn3 C&S passenger cars. Kind of a mix of Labelle, 3D printed and well to say the least "other" sources of cars. I still need to get them lettered- just got the rest of the decals yesterday. (plus it is raining out today and don't want the glosscoat/ dullcote to fog from humidity and I'm in the south you all
)
I'll start off with a Labelle coach- since this has the straight ends I went with 70. It still needs the end railings added. This was a basket case that I bought partially assembled with some other kits a while back. It only had a short roof- so I did some improvising with balsa blocks on the end.
Once carved down it worked OK- I probably should have carved more into the rest of the roof. I used some tissue to cover imperfections stock down with black craft paint.
I used Roundhouse trucks underneath. It received some Walthers seats that I cut down but not enough so it has too far a narrow aisle- that doesn't show bad from outside however.
