1 - 2: A PS 5344 is not available as ready-to-run model in O scale, so
Kurt Matthey decided to scratchbuild it. With the help of drawings he
found on
it was easy to figure out the dimensions. He
used sheet styrene and styrene profiles to build the body, and brass
wire for grab irons, ladders and door tracks. The doors are from an
Atlas Trainman car, brake gear is from Selley and couplers are Kadee
#740. After shooting Tamiya Fine Surface Primer from a rattle can, he
applied PollyScale paint with an airbrush. Weathering was done with
acrylic artist paints.
We on staff have to say, very nice
work Kurt.
Yes, it’s a model - 1
