Cement plant switcher
Author: Charls

This is my newest addtion, cement plant switcher. When I miss-order a Rapido 44tons for a friend, I decided instead of getting rid of it to turn it into a second hand unit sold to the cement plant. I added a few details from my scrap box , relettered it to my wife named fictive leasing company and got my son to weather it VALXweathering. Full family involvment and the perfect runner for it.

Looks great! It's incredible how filthy some of those cement plant switchers get.

Cool. How did you go about mounting the rerailer hooks to the body? Any issues with truck swing?

No, the curves are almost none in the plant but still fully swivel as rapido intended, look deceptive how close it is
