Completed NS remote control platform car HO scale.

Hello all,

Earlier today another forum member said he would like to see a platform car build off. So to honor that , I went ahead a built a cheap life-like flat car and transformed it into a NS platform car.

Yes I know NS doesn’t have this type of remote platform car, but I like the look of these cars, so why not build one.
I would have used a decent roundhouse flat car, but I really didn’t know how it would have turned out. Not to god awful looking but on the same token it turned out better than I first thought.
I think the next one I build will be even better, as long as its a roundhouse car. The handrails suck, couldn’t get them straight to save my life.

It looks pretty good regardless. BTW, I was the one who suggested a build-off. I didn’t think I’d be seeing results so quickly.

Jeff,

The wife didn’t bug me all day…thus the work bench was a little cluttered. The next one I’ll take my time building. This one was just goofing off.

Thanks for the kind words…
