Passenger Cars:

• DL&W Boonton Coach - Slightly detailing the Funaro & Camerlengo resin kit.
• DL&W Boonton Combine - An easy kitbash from the F&C kit.
• DL&W Baggage Car - Advice and translation of the instructions from when I built the BCW kit.
• DL&W Baggage Car Kitbash - Kitbashing a clerestory roof baggage car from an IHC heavyweight.
• DL&W Railway Post Office - I recently purchased one of these BCW kits from the ELHS. Someday I'll start work on it.
• DL&W Railway Post Office (from International Hobby Corp) - I got one of these for Christmas 2006. At this moment I'm not going to compare it line by line with the prototype. I painted the roof and undercarriage grimy black, changed the trucks and installed body mounted kaydees. I'm happy and actually have one of these in the GMY and pullman green (another gift.)
• DL&W M.U.s - Some musings on kitbashing these unpowered cars.
• Erie Stillwell Coach - From F&C. Only for that 'Day After the Merger' train.
• Erie Stillwell Coach in N Scale - An article about kitbashing these cars appeared in the February 2007 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman.

  • An article on the net about the problems with manufacturing these cars yourself..
• Borden's Wood Side Tank Cars - A kitbash from the Walther's wood reefer.

• DL&W Twin Boxcar Reefers - I kitbashed the Lackawanna's Twin Steel Reefers from 2 Accurail boxcars.
• Pfaudler Steel Milk Tank Cars - Intermountain's recent release of these cars has caused quite some discussion on the Milktrain yahoo group.
