Cody continues reassembling the Chicago & North Western HO scale commuter car, before hauling them off to the spray booth to add realistic weathering effects. Pick up a copy of Model Railroading: The Ultimate Guide 2019, to read the printed instructions of Cody’s modeling process.
what about adding a lighting kit would love to see that
Thanks Cody, Great series and I learned some more.
a fantastic series! enjoyed it very much, great
job Cody!
Nice job on the series, great ideas and tips. Always enjoy this type of series.
Nice! Cody, I enjoy watching your modeling. You and I do things a bit differently, but that’s good – it lets me learn other approaches to my modeling. The train looks good. I enjoyed this bit of passenger car modeling. It inspires me to get going on my Rivarossi and Walthers CB&Q cars that look quite similar. You have me looking forward to upgrading my models as well! Thanks.
Great video, nice to see someone who loves the “Modeling” side of this hobby, the way I do! The Rivarossi standard passenger cars are wonderful models and I need to get some. To bad Rivarossi; or, who ever owns the rights to the name now, no longer produces these cars. Passenger equipment has gotten extremely too expensive! I refuse to pay $60.00 to $90.00 bucks for a single car. I not only refuse, I can’t afford them, so it’s shop on Ebay to find old stuff that will work and with a bit of detailing will be as good; or, maybe even better than the newer-more expensive stuff!
Nicely done Cody, the entire series was very helpful. I’ll be using some of your paint choices on my own freelanced railroad.
I’m looking forward to the GP9 project, that is my favorite diesel power.
Nice work Cody, they look very realistic. Thanks.
Very good job Cody. A lot of helpful hints. Thank you. When I’m spraying my cars. I use a small Lazy Susan with a board and wire to hold the cars up in order to rotate them. Only a suggestion…
Well, those snap together cars go together a whole lot easier than the Walthers car kits from the 50’s and 60’s. Used a lot of “Goo” and escutcheon pins putting them together. As I recall they also had “shorty” coaches and baggage cars just like the ones you are using.
Must have been a trick of the light, but one of the marker jewels didn’t seem as bright as its counterpart.
Nice work Cody! Very nice.
Super nice work Cody! those cars look fantastic, hard to believe they are plastic and not brass imports! stunning with that level of detail… your simple approach to keep working the progress when delays or parts go missing.. time to pony up and work on my passenger cars. thanks for all the great ideas !!
