Here we have a Milwaukee road 710000 series outside braced wood boxcar from this series built in 1928. This car has a load of Ford auto parts that would have been sent to the Ford plant in Iron Mountain, Michigan before the plant was closed in the 1960's. This car is scratch built from Northeastern scribed wood and various detail parts from Keil-Line, Walthers, and Monarch couplers. The trucks are Athearn die-cast sprung trucks. I used several photographs to get the details for this car and included complete brake system, cut levers, and air hoses. This car will operate on my 2-rail layout. Hope you like it.
Here we have a Baltimore and Ohio M-24 outside braced wood car from the early USRA order that was assigned to the B&O. This car was scratchbuilt using Northeastern scribed wood along with various detail parts from Keil-Line, Walthers, and Kadee couplers. The trucks are Auel die-cast Andrews trucks with ribbed wheel sets. There is a complete brake system along with cut levers and air hoses. I used several photographs of these M-24 cars to get the details for this car. I am a B&O fan like my son, but decided to model the railroads I grew up with in the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin. It is nice to model some of the other great railroads that covered our great country.
