MODELS MADE BY ANDY WEGMULLER IN HO SCALE (1:87) |
|
| CPR Skeleton Log Cars by National Steel Car |
|
| These 62’-9”
long Skeleton log cars were built in 1968 by NSC for the Canadian
Pacific Railway. NSC built similar cars for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway but they
have a smaller center sill. They were painted black when new. In the early 1980’s some were repainted in Action Red. |
Model description:
| LENGTH | WEIGHT | COUPLERS | WHEELS | TRUCKS | RADIUS REQUIRED | FIRST YEAR PRODUCED |
| 233mm | 80gr. | Kadee #158 | Semi Scale |
Kadee |
19 inch or 482mm | 2012 |
The masters for this model were developed from prototype drawings, photographs and actual measurements. It is one of a kind Museum quality, completely finished, handmade from epoxy castings, platforms and stakes are brass. The center sill has metal reinforcement to keep the car from sagging. Brass stirrup steps, hand grabs, cut levers and brake rods finish off the model.
The model is fully functional with #158 Kadee couplers and metal wheels with Kadee trucks.
The model has then been weathered using my unique process. This whole process allows the finer details of the model to come to life giving a “real live” look and making it a truly astounding museum quality model. Lettering artwork and decals were specifically made for this models. They are exquisitely detailed according to prototype, yet sturdy. Black and Red versions are available.
