I don't have any current parts catalogs, but I am sure that they are available from someone. There were so many variations of this locomotive.
I found these photos buried away on my backup hard drive, I posted them years ago when I built it but I thought I would post them again. This is how I built my favorite Burlington Northern boxcar Burlington Northern number 243859 Series 243400-244249 This series was originally built in 1961-62 by the Northern Pacific. This is a 50'6" inside length 10'7" inside height non-cushioned boxcar, door opening is 15' x 9'11", GRL 177.000, Capacity 5079 cubic foot, welded fourteen side posts. unfortunately the pictures are not bigger but this are the only ones I saved
I have had a look through my unfinished projects, I seem to have quite a few, this is just some of them...
The MC has aquired another Fairbanks Morse to go with its lonely H10-44. This time it is a H15-44, this just needs minor details adding, a full repaint (although it is almost MC colours already!) and a suitable level of grime and rust for a FM in the early 70's...
A shame to dirty up that lovely clean machine. (It could have just been through the MC shops for an overhaul). Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
StickyMonk I just wanted to say I really am enjoying your build. In fact its the reason I just joined up. Might as well make my first post here.
Now we are at Matt's for a visit I can see South Lewistown for real! I already have five locomotives which will be running on the layout under the Andersley Western road name. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
My quest for short Walthers funnel flow tanks is at an end, and not quite how I was expecting to find them. Found these beauties at the Spalding model railway show, still sealed! £5 each I think is a bargain Sent from my Xperia Z using Tapatalk 2

It is interesting how few people look or inquire about what is under the tables. I have found a few gems that way.
I finally got the 3 Walthers tanks built up, they are riding on Kato and Athearn genesis trucks, they will need detailing up and scale couplers adding, along with weathering. I forgot how much a pain walthers plastic is to glue, nothing some cable ties couldn't sort. Sent from my Xperia Z using Tapatalk 2
Got some more track down in the main switching area of the layout, still need a diamond crossing to finish off the back area. At least I can operate now Sent from my Xperia Z using Tapatalk 2
