Paint Shop – 36 : New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois Boxcar 3478, part 1

: NJII3478

Here is another NJI&I 50’ 3400 series boxcar, but this time, in N&W “hamburger” scheme. CDS produces this scheme as well as WAB “flag” scheme I represented before.

This is a model of NJI&I 50’ double sliding door boxcar 3478. I came to find the 1984 prototype photo at the Fallen Flag site.

I used Athearn PS-1 double door boxcar. I stripped the decoration and changed the ends with homemade parts: urethane resin casted MTL 51’ 3¾” Mechanical Reefer ends to represent 3/4 pressed improved Dreadnaught ends. Painting with TAMIYA TS-1 (RED BROWN) for the body is the routine. The dry transfer I used is CDS #N-742.

前と同じ、New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois Railroadという鉄道の50フィートボックスカーである。但し、今回は親会社がNorfolk & Westernになってからの出で立ち。当然ながら、妻板の加工などは前回と同じである。レタリングなどはCDS製インレタを用いている。インレタだと、塗装面をコンパウンドで磨かなくて済むので楽ちんだ。
