Here's the finished car, after being treated with Dull-Kote, drybrushing, and various colors of chalk.
An HO scale switching shelf layout based on an alternate history of Hill City, Minnesota in the year 1920. In this alternate history, the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range railroad has expanded into more than an ore carrier, and is servicing Hill City as a general purpose railroad.

Holy Buckets!
How does one make HO scale wooden pails? One uses his Dremel, after realizing that the dowel rods that he's using fit perfectly into the chuck on the Dremel. A little high-speed rotation, some gentle application of a needle file, and presto-chango, the dowel rod transforms into a stack of wooden buckets. To make it perfectly clear what is loaded in the boxcar, I carved out a few stacks of varying heights, including one single bucket.
