Trucks look good too.
Thanks Rick,

I kept the masks as I still have a couple more boxcars to build.

Quote from: Larry C on July 03, 2026, 09:54:15 AMRon you can't get any better with the decals that that!! Great job and like the mask approach.
Thanks Larry,

The masks were well worth the effort as they ended up saving a lot of time with the decal placement.

Well This is it - The Final Update.

It's official, the boxcar project is complete, finished, nothing left to do.  ;D

With the boxcars put back together the last step was to add the brake wheel and rod.

The entire 300-349 series boxcar fleet (built to date).

I still have 2 more Mount Blue boxcars to build, but it will probably be awhile before I get to them.

I would like to thank everyone who followed along and made comments.

Thanks for looking in.
