This shoving platform model is a conversion build made from an O Scale, M.T.H. Electric Trains, Bay Window Caboose.
KoSprueOne,
Incredible! You are a fantastic modeler. Thank you for showing the steps to create your conversion. Your reproduction of the graffiti is spectacular! If you had not shown us how you did it, I would have assumed you did it with custom printed decals.
When you primed the model, did any of the printed lettering show through? I can never quite get t to go away- not the color, the slight raised printing.
Masterful work. I wish I was good enough for people to want me to ship my models for an op session.
(I have those same Revell rockets. I think it is an old Nitto kit Revell acquired.)
Thank you. Very kind words.
“When you primed the model, did any of the printed lettering show through? I can never quite get t to go away- not the color, the slight raised printing.”
Yes, they did. I lightly sanded then re-primed until it was good enough. I figured the weathering and graffiti would hide it and I think it did.
Cole Only produces a great show almost every year. Music, art on the walls, and of course model trains. The trains would run on a basic powered track loop. As mentioned, that is the reason for stock wheels, trucks, and couplers. And to be eligible for entry into the contest, it had to run.

ok, good kit history info.
