Update from Frank
Resin Car Works honcho Frank Hodina sent a workbench update. Here are his details.
I had Monday off so I thought I’d finish up a couple projects for upcoming Resin Car Works releases. Then I got a little carried away decaling cars that had been sitting around.
Besides all the newly decaled cars, you might notice a few projects in the upper right corner. Yup, that’s the SOO 50-foot auto box. Plus a couple of other fun projects, a C&IM coal gon and the side for a PM/C&O steel auto car. Hmmm, what will become of these?
What’s on your workbench?

Southern Pacific B-50-15
Resin Car Works web guy Eric Hansmann has been working on an HO scale boxcar kit. Here’s a progress report.
I needed to break out of a summer slump so I started a few resin freight car kits. This Southern Pacific B-50-15 boxcar is leading the pack out of the car shops. It’s the latest kit from Westerfield Models. The lead image shows the current kit progress.
