I spent another 8 hours in the shop today working on the freight car. In that 8 hours, I made the brake cranks, and finished off the installation of the two sliding doors. I also cut and installed the roof ribs and made and installed the ladders. Of course, being an idiot, I glued one of the ladders in the wrong place and had to bust it off of the side of the freight car. That's okay though because it gave me a chance to use my mini scrapers to clean the area from any glue and wood fragments. Gluing the axle assemblies in place was also done today as was the guard rails between the axle assemblies on the belly of the box car. I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from this build as I have a couple of other projects that I need to work on. Once I get those done, I will be continuing the build with the final train car; the caboose. Thanks for hanging in there guys.
The detail on all your models in incredible. You could this model to a real boxcar manufacturer and tell them, "Make it like this".
Wow.

I can see you didn't do any "real work" on the train - just made it look incredibly real and perfect.
