Picking up right where I left off on last week's crane car build, I'm building another car for Thunder Mesa's maintenance of way (MOW) train! This time, I'm repurposing the 3-D printed 16' flat car from the EarnestTrains crane car kit into a funky, rundown, homebuilt work caboose with tons of character. Join me as I turn what had been a failed part of the project into a creative opportunity to make something fun and useful.
