Model Railroading > Soo Line Freelance Hy-Railer

Until they get some more new models released, I had one River Point Station Ford F-350 Pick-up left in-house and decided to make a Soo Line Hy-Railer using Highball Graphics decals, which by the way, are an excellent value. If you are making CN or CP (and subsidiaries) maintenance trucks, a set will make 20+ trucks! You may want to add some numbers and/or different striping from your decal box as I did.

I did my usual detailing of River Point toolboxes, Herpa driver figure, flasher beacon, industrial gas tanks, fire extinguisher and hand tools, plus scratchbuilt guideposts. A relatively light weathering job and Dullcote finish round out the job.

For my next project, I am starting on a couple Classic Metal Works 1960 Ford pick-ups. I don't get a lot of modeling time, so this may take a while.
