Lester Breuer steps in to share notes on building a classic HO scale resin freight car kit.
Another car is ready for the paint shop. I recently acquired this Sunshine Models box car kit and thought it would be good to get it on the railroad. This is a CB&Q XM-28 box car, kit 57.3.
If we model freight cars, we usually need a caboose at some point. George Toman shares tips and techniques to build a classic Milwaukee Road caboose.
