As I've been installing many activities for the Sandpatch, I realized I needed a matching set of Piggyback cars that would enhance the activities. So I went looking for older style cars and found the B&O Flatcar with Truck Van Trailer model by Andrew Pickell and Bruce Giroux.

After a few hours of work I happy with the results... First, the original car and then my repaints:

Looking very snazzy! I am not quite sure what is going on at the cab end in the top and bottom bands, though.

It appears that the designer used part of the texture that when I repainted, affects that area...sigh.

Still I'm happy.
