Model Railroading > Prairie Shadows CN Trenton Works 5250 covered hoppersDate: 02/24/24 13:14 Prairie Shadows CN Trenton Works 5250 covered hoppers Author: andrewcastle Prairie Shadows Model Railway Co. is currently shipping their HO scale Trenton Works 5250 covered hoppers decorated for Canadian National. The models have a build date of 1995-1996, since I model CN in 1997 and live about an hour away from the site of the old Trenton Works plant I had to have a couple.
I painted the trucks and couplers on my cars and gave them a light weathering to represent two years in service. They are beautiful models, one car had a couple of stirrups glued on a bit crooked and the other one had no issues at all. High marks for design and decoration. The cars come with Kadee 158 couplers installed so that was a bonus. Thanks for looking. Andrew C Edited 1 time(s).

Nice job. Only top notch modelers paint couplers...And know how to paint them so they work correctly. I think it looks great and is easy to do while weathering.. andrewcastle Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > I painted the trucks and couplers on my cars and > gave them a light weathering to represent two > years in service. |
