    This is a hybrid decal thing that I just wanted to build as some of my friends have done freelancing for the QA&P.
    An Athearn Blue Box (BB) 57 Mech Reefer with Microscale and a few of my own applied. I have always enjoyed that "Temp Lok" logo. I would like to have a fleet of these things.

    Tom -
    How did you get the red Quanah coonskin? Make it?
    Nice car - a fleet of them would look great as a big block in a train.

    Thanks Sherrel- There is no prototype for this car, The BN did have the "Temp-Lok" car I just made the QA&P Red Coonskin and a couple other decals and walla. I have had to Temp-Lok decals for 20 years and finally figured I would just make the car as it should have been made IMHO.

    Thanks Ken- I made the red QA&P and a couple other decals for it. The rest are Microscale.

    Thanks Keith- How is retirement treating you?

    Thank You too Steve- It is waay to clean, but I like to let them dry for a few weeks and when the mood strikes I will weather the thing up a bit.

    Keith ... The problem with being retired is that you never have a day off!
     
  9. Tom, clean is easy to "fix"!!! Lol
