WINTER IS FOR MODELLING. Job talks, homework, winter worries, but still time to work on some projects. On each of my recent trips to the November Cleveland O Scale show, I've come back with good buys of vintage Walthers passenger cars that are in better than basket-case condition.


The baggage car came back last November, and the day coach is from a previous meet. I took out the wooden seats the builder had installed in it, and added Keil-Line's cast metal bucket seats. It will hold the rails well. The baggage car is fresh out of the paint shop and the lettering and lining-out will come in time.
