Date: 07/25/14 01:55 Re: Bottle car pics Author: jobrazy I figured these might be helpful for modeling. I need to weather mine, so I was happy to get this close.
The Cleveland MRA group did a spectacular job as the host city for the NMRA and made this possible.....thanks!!! Joel Brazy Coatesville, PA Date: 07/25/14 05:32 Re: Bottle car pics Author: PHall jburek Wrote:

Reminds me of working on the blast furnace floor at the former Stelco Hilton Works (now U.S. Steel Hamilton Works), blowing the plug and watching the molten steel flow into these cars from sometimes less than a foot away.
Definitely HOT work! Anywho, here's another way to model these unusual cars: Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/26/14 14:34 by TheCurator.    Date: 07/26/14 18:48 Re: Bottle car pics Author: SantaFeRuss Nice stuff.
