Really like that, Richie. I have the camp car in 0n30. Nice model, have been considering making a larger version using it as a guide. You have spurred me on. Have to be a winter job.

Many thanks for the kind comments
I have the stoves to fit next and some glazing for the windows ,have also made a start fitting lights to the roof which will run off a battery box for night running
Have one more box car to use which might be a MOW as i have a spare USA Trains generator to fit inside .

Hi Steven
Just fitting the stoves and pipes now using odds and ends from my spare box will post some more pics soon .
Have also fitted lights which run on 6 volt batteries .
I might even make some bunks to go inside as the roof just lifts off .

Hi Richie,

Nice work, You could now make a kitchen car with a couple of clerestory vents on the roof, and a companion dining car with a full length clerestory with full length windows along the sides (acrylic sheet for those) of it.

Bob Baxter in the USA also had a whole series of shacks the logging crews.

Cheers Dave nearly half way through a box of 2000 coffee stirers spend my lunch hour at work cutting and filing them ready to glue when i get home .
By the way that Matt varnish works a treat have sprayed both my OY tenders and they now have a nice matt finish

Re:Logging Camp Car From A Bachmann Box Car

Finished off the roof today ready to spray with matt black paint made the stove pipes out of some old plastic pipe and thin plastic card for the top of the stack and finished off with a washer round the base and picture hanging wire for the surports . Have also wired up two lights to a battery box .

Re:Logging Camp Car From A Bachmann Box Car

Have also made a start on the interior . Stoves are made from two old plastic oil drums bunk beds and table made from more coffee stirers and the windows have been glazed ready for curtains made from coffee filter papers cut to size and painted ready to glue in place just a few more details to add .

Finished off the weathering today on the body and the bogies and sprayed over with matt varnish have also painted the roof matt black which just needs weathering . Also added shelves and painted the interior and glued the curtains in place .
