This HO kit from Bruce Barney at AL&W allows you to model the Boeing Company's short aircraft parts car hood and 60' flat car. Both items are included in this one kit that you can paint to match your desired scheme and era. These hoods were later repainted into a more anonymous boxcar red paint scheme with minimal lettering to help reduce incidents of vandalism in the form of bullet holes encountered as the cars traveled cross-country with their expensive cargo. The flat cars started in GN Big Sky Blue, but were repainted BN green and eventually BNSF brown as they continued in service.
This kit comes printed in 3D resin. You supply trucks and couplers, Cal-Scale grab irons (part number 190-508), and 1/2 oz stick-on tire weights (Easyberg wheel weights from Amazon) to finish the model.
