Blog manager Eric Hansmann steps in to share his latest build.
I picked up a Resin Car Works HO scale boiler load recently and decided it would look great on a Tichy Train Group flat car in service on my Wheeling Freight Terminal. The boiler castings follow a prototype Kewanee stationary heating boiler design that was produced for a few decades.

Once more I am pleased to be able to share my work with you here on the Resin Car Works blog. The build this time was a Soo Line box car, square-corner design, offered in July. Nice photos for the build are in the kit “Prototype Data and Modeling Notes.” If photos of greater clarity are desired you can find the same photos with additional data in the captions in the Soo Line Freight Equipment and Cabooses book by Kenneth J. Soroos on pages 16 and 17.
Resin Car Works will debut another kit at the upcoming RPM Chicagoland event. We will be selling a limited number of Missouri Pacific 50-foot, 6-inch, 50-Ton, All-Steel Automobile Cars and BX Express Box Cars to sell at the meet. We didn’t want to tip our hat on this kit until we had a quantity of the castings to sell.
Craig Zeni returns with several models in a vitual RPM display here on the blog.
I’ve been working through a Westerfield New York Central “1916” rebuild steel box car (kit 7951). It’s a nice kit; the roof truss castings that Andrew Dahm now offers for some of his kits make the roof a whole lot easier to build. The completed underframe is seen above. A while back Frank had asked for some images of my other builds to feature blog. Here are a few for your perusal.
