These are Boulder Valley Models 'shorty' Pulpwood Cars. A fair degree of weathering was applied, with significant rust on the trucks and wheels. A medium amount of black wash was applied to the cars.

#43, 44 - Logging Disconnect
Logging Disconnect kit by Alan Curtis. I believe that these are no longer available. These disconnects are quite heavy, being supplied as a cast pewter kit. This helps them to run and track very well.

#55 - Caboose, Shorty
As the caboose was built with one door open, it has been fitted with a full interior, the bulk of which comprises the wall coverings which were created in Corel Draw. The walls include the inner-faces of the outer board cladding, a clipboard hanging on the wall, and a calendar (complete with a photo of a 60's Ford Victoria!). There are also a number of coats and jackets hanging on the walls. I made and fitted a bench seat for the crew, a pot-belly stove (turned from styrene), and a bench for crew use. The inside of the closed door is also represented in the artwork.

#61 - Wooden Boxcar
This is based on an On30 IMA Boxcar kit. This is a laser-cut kit, extremely well-fitting parts and easy to build. It has been built with sliding doors in brass-channel tracks, and has been lettered for the Owen Firty Timber Co. Unfortunately, On30 IMA seems to have disappeared off the radar.
