Re: (erielack) Re: Buffalo Creek N Scale Boxcars
Thanks for the link Frank. I see from that the build date on the ConCor car
must be wrong. Not a total surprise, especially considering it's an older
kit. I was surprised to see that BCK ordered a total of 1,000 PS-1's. That's
quite a few for a small railroad! I guess they probably traveled all over
though.
You sort of answered my next question, is there a better model in N scale
to start with? I did buy two sets of decals and it would be nice to use them
on the most accurate PS-1 model available. Is there one with the correct
door, ends and roof? Yes, the ConCor car will do for now, but if I'm going
to start with a bare car, I might as well find a perfect match. If one is
available that is.
