I rolled the tube and turned the ends on a lathe.

Before BLI released their cars, I built my own!

I built this car using copies of the original plans. Thanks for looking. Bobby

All are scratched and stand in stark contrast to my multi-axle cars. Thanks, Bobby

I doubt they ever ran together, but it would have been a sight to behold!

This model, like the real car, started out as a 70T hopper. Southern's customers ask for larger loads of cement, so they converted the 70T cars to 100T. They did this by extended the top, adding braces and truck mounted brakes on 100T trucks. I used two Bowser cars to build the extended top...

Sorry for posting such a stupid post.

I under cut the roof on the body and copula. Added and plumbed the brake gear, rebuilt the end railings and added new ladders. Sun shades on the windows and a stack. Thanks for looking. Regards, Bobby

I built this car several years ago, but didn't take any good photos. It's all brass except the manway cover. I rolled the tube around a aluminum dowel that I turned to the correct size. The ends were turned on a lathe from a WW11 Liberty ship. Thanks for looking------Bobby

I built this unit a few years ago and photographed it, but the photos were awful! I used my wife's I-6+ phone to redo the photos. I learned how to use the photo shop gadgets, which was very helpful. I hope you enjoy the photos. Regards, Bobby

I thought this a neat contrast between the largest production tank and one of the smallest. Regards, Bobby

It took forever, but it's done. Thanks for looking. Regards, Bobby

I built these several years ago, but never had any decent photos. Bobby

Bachmann cylindrical hopper bash-ready for paint https://www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?rb=1&path=&nsid=53243414%40N00&page=&details=1 I wanted to do one of these for a long time. Now that I'm 71, I figured it's now or never. I cut every thing off the car I could, including the walk and...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/53243414@N00/page1/?details=1 I built this car 10 years ago and decided it need a upgrade. First I added Archer weld lines, then the large Dupont logo, aci tags, early cots and several other decal changes. There were 70 of these cars built in 1969 by ACF for...

I trying to turn a toy into a scale model. Lots of work has been done, with lots more to go. I hope you'll like my efforts. Regards, Bobby https://www.flickr.com/photos/53243414@N00/?details=1

https://www.flickr.com/photos/53243414@N00/?details=1 This car is a toy looking for help. I've done a lot of mods, with many more to go. Take a look at the photos, and if you have any questions, ask away. It took many hours of deconstruction before I could start building. Thanks, Bobby

Scratched 6 Axle Whalebelly tanker, painted, decaled & weathered http://www.flickr.com/photos/53243414@N00/page1/?details=1 This was a tough build! There are 52 solder joints on the walkway stanchions and 228 rivets applied one at a time. It's one ugly car, but unique to say the least. It...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/53243414@N00/?details=1 I finally finished this car! Very nice weather today, so I was able to take some photos. This modern looking car was built in12-60, so it's long gone. It hauled liquid Argon at -350 degs. Thanks for looking. Regards, Bobby

I posted photos of my latest project. It's the smallest of the rail whales. Due to the weight of the load, it hauled 22,500 gals of Phosphorus. I also added several new photos of some of my older models. Click the link below. Thank you for looking, Bobby...
