A Limited Edition HO-Scale Atlas FMC 5347 Box Car painted for freelance model railroad Copper State Railway joins the roster over here on the Arizona Southern. Pretty much any freight cars in and around the late 1960's to late 1970's seem to be fair game for adding to our pile. This car has both a copper vibe and an Arizona vibe, so there was little thought process dealing with this acquisition.

This car is not too flashy either, and that is always a good thing. It seems easier to recreate a believable level of realism if the equipment is not too bright or shiny, so we try and roll with that basic concept whenever possible. Modeling the more common or average looking equipment as opposed to something too unique or rare, keeps things simple.

That's all for now, write back if the mood strikes. Enjoy your trains.
