Nicely Done! Was that car used on a certain train or in "pool"service?

To be honest I'm not really sure. It'll be in pool service for my purposes.

I like the coloring on the wheels vs. the truck frames. It's really nice overall.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Here's one more of it with some of its P85 relatives in a more natural looking setting.  |

Edgecrusher, That is a beautiful job! Quick question: where did you get the air hoses from? That is a detail that I very much want to install on all of my Walthers passenger cars but the hoses I have on hand are for freight stock. Was mounting difficult? Just a slight update, I finished up this car with some light weathering over the weekend. I was going for the well used but maintained look, I'm pretty happy with it.   |

Thanks Antonio. The hoses are a set from Cal Scale, P/N: 190-275. They include the steam, air & signal hoses. On my cars that are close coupled with diaphragms I tend to leave the steam line off and paint the coupler trip pin. The cars are nearly impossible to get apart without the trip pin. The set is a universal design, but fits the Walthers cars really well. Take a look at the pics I've attached and you'll see how I've mounted them. If you need a better look I can pop off the coupler plate and take another pic too. I also grabbed a pic of an unfinished express reefer that shows the full hose package.    |

Edgecrusher, Excellent work! Will be very helpful in helping me detail my passenger cars. I'll order the hose sets from Bowser. Thanks so much for your info and the photos.  |
