Flat Car - as yet unnumbered

This is a scratch built flat car. As with my tank car, I based it on plans from Northeast Narrow Gauge. The plans call it 1:20 scale. Weathering ideas were borrowed from other websites. I wish I could give specific credit to certain individual websites, but I did not keep track of them at the time. The planking is made from popsicle sticks. The frame is constructed of "what ever is left laying around". Heavy weathering hides the variation in grain resulting from using a variety of different woods. I do run it outdoors but it does not get exposed to inclimate weather for very long.

Link and pin couplers would probably be more pleasing to those looking for a more pure-ist look. I opted for Kadee's because I enjoy setting cars out on my siding automatically. My Aristo TE really enhanced this part of the hobby for me.
