Well, Jan, no further progress here made yet
Richard, to be honest, I dont know much about American railway - very similar wagons were also in use in Germany and other countries that time. The truth is that most Russian vehicles from the beginning of 20th century were produced on base of foreign ones - not only locos or wagons, but also cars, trucks, tractors - often American originals followed - licenced or not

Man Libor, I almost forgot how much I love trains, thanks for reminding me! I'm tempted to try out your scratch detailing on a styrene kit...

Hi Jeremy, then go for it! Personally I did never expect I would get stuck with rolling stock like this
Cheers

beautiful, but not badly to verify with the old directory-sizes

Thank you for your comment Alabamas, though I dont know what exactly you mean. Anyway, its been a while, and now I can get here to show more, however there is not much left to finish.
Because this was kinda test build, I did just some very basic painting job on it to give it a better look







Cheers

Wow, the result of the wagon looks great!
After a long "pause" (no views and no comments on your page) another life-sign by me. (I had some personal problems)

I like the wooden structure and the colors! (it´s a "basic paint job", but it looks good)

Ahh, Libor.... I´ve seen that you made some model-kits and update sets.
They look great!
When I see the water-crane and the update-parts for the BR-86 locomotive... I can only say... WOW!
I´ve read your build-logs of them and I´m very impressed!

greetings...

Hi Soeren,
thank you very much for the kind words. Much appreciated my friend. I know you had the personal problems, it happens sometimes, life can be a bit hard sometimes
This blog is actually over, I might just add a few pictures of this wagon converted to German SSyl Koln








Cheers
Libor

Great result with the wagon!
My idea was, to build Trumpeter´s Diesel-locomotive and a heavy weights-wagon for a diorama.
Your ones look better than "big T´s" ones.
But also "big T´s" Diesel-loco is not a good solution because it´s not the serial-model.
But I will see.

Yes, you´re right... life can be hard sometimes. But this time it´s a bit different to the previous.
But I hope to get a new job soon.

greetings...
Soeren

Libor-- truly outstanding workmanship. You did a great job.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you Soeren and DJ for the kind words.
I am working hard on new model, which should be finished in a couple of weeks. Test build is in progress and I will show some pics soon.
