Here we have another O scale boxcar kit the has been upgraded with new paint and decals representing one of my favorite railroad - the Louisville and Nashville. My folks moved to Louisville in 1963 and we lived near the Crescent Hill grade coming out of Louisville on the East Side. I often heard the L&N trains coming up the grade in the evening hours from my bedroom window. In later years I would go to South Louisville and watch trains switch the old Strawberry yard as well as the new Strawberry yard, which today is known as Osborn yard. Many fond memories I have made over the years with the L&N. Anyway on to the boxcar! This boxcar was given the "Thayer" treatment by having the sides stripped of the old paint and lettering and then a new coat of Floquil Boxcar Red was applied and then the lettering is from Champion. I added details to the car to include cut levers, air hoses, and a comlete brake system. This car is another one for my 3 rail Proto Hi-Rail layout. Hope you like it. Thanks Bill
