Car Repair Shop

The Y&H has a shop for light rail car repairs at Hillton. If needed, it can also be used as the paint shop for WREX jobs. A small rail born crane and its old flat car boom tender is housed there.  Here we see both sides of a boxcar under repair. Perhaps the car needs new journal brasses or brake shoes.

   This is a view from the other side. Note how the lighting from the opposite side is so different of the same car. Even the grass seems a different color. Light is so important with close-up photos. My use of a freight car forwarding card system supports an occasional bad order car sent to light repairs.

    The structure is molded plastic with slight brushed weathering paints. The car has tan weathering done with air brush paint.
