Indiana Railroad Lightweight Combines #323-326

After consolidation of all Indiana Interurbans into the Indiana Railroad, the ISC (Indiana Service Corporation) lightweight combines were repainted in IR orange. Otherwise, only small changes were applied: the horn moved to the left side of the cabin, dash lights were added and the standard IRR headlights were mounted. The cars remained on the Northern division until the closing in 1937. 
This version will be soon available in my Shapeways Shop as a 3D printed shell. Underframe and pilot remains the same as for the ISC version.

Additional work on the Interurban Box Motor

Some last details like frame bolts were added to the model of the C&LE Box Motor #622.

Some parts were adjusted to ensure printability.

The light blue part is the radial coupler head, designed for normalized NEM couplers.

Fort Wayne - Lima Interurban Combine #91 painted and lettered

Paul Mayer (shoreline decals) has built my Fort Wayne - Lima Combine to perfection and striped and lettered it as # 91 with the decals he made for my car.

This reminds me that I have to finish a lot of my own models, even if I would not meet this perfection.
