the Osage Valley Tie & Lumber Co.'s Work Train

The OVT&L's work train is a combination of kit-built cars (from Sierra West) and cars that I scratchbuilt. For the scratchbuilt cars, I first built a master frame from stripwood and Grandt Line n-b-w's. The frame was then sent to Rusty Stumps, where a mold was made of the master for casting in white metal. The car bodies were then built from stripwood over the metal frames. Several more cars are planned, although I have moved on to other projects for the time being.
