Album: 9/18/2011 update

To model the latest Bluffs toolshed, I started with an Athearn SIECO, removed the trucks, brake gear, and end details per the prototype, painted Floquil Old Silver, and weathered with oils. The electrical service on the B end is just wire with a junction box made from a spare piece from a Cannon fuel tank detail set. Thanks to Christian Hostetler for the Sergent couplers on this car, and to Nate Obermeyer for the Sergents on the adjacent NP boxcar.
