Last time, in that LBF boxcar post I made mention of LBF being taken over by Hubert's Models. So then I thought why not post my Hubert's boxcar ? I've had this one for a long time, and did have two of them for quite a while, but sold just one two or three years ago as neither of them were seeing much time out on the layout.
This post will be just a few looks at that Hubert's model that I kept, as it's out for a rare outing on the rails here right now. It's a nice model, has a few nice details such as the separate parts for the door posts and the ladders. Perhaps it's a little underweight, but the roof can be removed very easily, enabling weight to be added inside the boxcar.
To simulate paint patching I had masked off different parts of the boxcar with painters tape and then faded the original green paint. A few areas with some rust streaks are added as well. The Smokebox Graphics reflective yellow stripes that I applied stand out nicely against the green colour of the boxcar.
Hubert's company is apparently gone now too, and I'm not really sure what happened to them but I would think their cars might show up at trin shows once in a while.
Anyway, here's mine...a 60 foot high cube box, in green, patched and lightly weathered:
