4: This DRG&W Box car is an Athearn Genesis model. While
already a highly detailed model out of the box, Jeff added
still more details such as new wire brake rigging underneath
to better match the prototype as well as Hi-Tech Details
real rubber air hoses. Jeff added the proper stenciling and
weathered the model with oil paints giving a very accurate
representation of its prototype.
5: Atlas makes this PRR 3 bay ACF hopper. Jeff used Hi-Tech
Details air hoses, Plano roof walk, plus grab irons and pin lift-
ers. Jeff weathered this model with oils and powders.

2: This ACF RailBox started life as an Atlas kit before Jeff
turned it into this amazing model. He used many details
including Sergent draft gear boxes and scale couplers, Plano
pin lifters and crossover platforms, Hi-Tech Details air hoses
as well as stirrup steps, brake rigging and scale wheelsets!
Jeff used a flame to create a bit of a roof bulge per the proto-
type. This model represents many hours of work.
3: Jeff tricked out this Walthers waffle side box car with an
array of details that include: tack boards, grab irons, stirrup
steps, scale wheelsets, air hoses and coupler pin lifters. Jeff
left the factory paint but weathered the car with oils and chalks.
