Description: Scale/Gauge: HOn3:HO scale, 3 foot gauge, 10.5mm track gauge. 3446 has been made frmo the venerable Railline injection moulded plastic
kit, with the few errors that Railline made corrected: side grab irons too short, missing coupler lift bar. 3446 was on of the cars used for hauling foodstffs,
as can be seen from the tackboard "Flour Sugar and Bean Loading Only". Just another one of the whole herd of these boxcars; by 1951 no two were identical.
3446's paint, applied ion 1945, has started to sun-fade and whiten on the sides. The side numbers have been more recently refreshed, as been the paint on the
metal roof. The roofwalks are not painted by Federal mandate, though there are hints of overpsray from the roof repaint job a few months ago.
The model paint is Railmatch with Thinflim decals, with the decals then tinned and weathered by sanding. Weathering is washes and inks, and the body faded with
alcohol.
