Hi all,
This model is one of those 3 foot NG railroad cars that was built in the field with whatever they had on hand at the time and a simple white washing was a sufficient paint job.
This little 7 foot square Shack On Wheels had a small wood burning stove and a couple of chairs, and of course, a pot of coffee, to keep a number of loggers warm in the winter months.
(Logging operations didn't cease because it snowed. It was a year round industry.)
It is equipped with mechanical brakes and link & pin couplers of the 1800's era.

UPDATE: The wheel radius was a bit off and this is an updated version.
