Generator Car RBBX 60011, My Latest Red Unit Car
Author: needles_sub

RBBX 60011, kit bashed using a Walthers 85' ACF baggage car and side built using sheet styrene. Tough build for my limited skills, but I'm happy with how it came out. Perhaps later I will try to model the 63013, which is more closely associated with the Red Unit.

Your "limited skills" are a Rembrandt  or Picasso. 
My kit bashing still looks like kindergarten finger painting.

Awsome work.

Agree, great work. If this is a 'limited skill' project, then I have no skills. Thank you for sharing. Would love to see the entire train in person someday. Would be a monster for sure.
