36' F&CC Boxcar
The
F&CC boxcar began a corroborative effort between Fn3 enthusiasts on
the Yahoo 1:20.3 Discussion list to create a 30' narrow gauge boxcar
prior to there being any other 30' narrow gauge kits in 1:20.3.
Behind the scenes, Don discussed with Jeff Saxton about producing a
36' standard gauge car based upon the same basic features of the
Florence & Cripple Creek 30' car. At that time Jeff provided the
laser cut boxcar parts, Dave the trucks (what few there were--and
even these were a collaborative effort with Steve King of 7/8" scale
fames providing the white metal archbar sideframes!), and Don
providing the inspiration, enthusiasm, marketing and CASH . . . The
initial run of kits was about 30 (so if you got one, lucky you! If
not, another, improved batch is in the works). |
