MOW Car

Below is a photo of a maintenance of way car I cobbled up from two cheap plastic kits I had lying around - a Walthers flat car and an MDC old style tank car.  I enhanced the flat with paint, weathering and new metal grabs and mounted to tank car tank on one end of the deck.  On the other end of the flat i built a simple wood encloseure which i then filled with detail parts including a compressor, a pallet loaded with freight car parts, oil barrels, a ladder, compressed gas tanks, and a small cable drum.


Everything is heavily weathered - the way I like it.  Just a simple model from my imagination.
