As it is unseasonably hot here this week, I decided to finish up three of my older beer car sets.

I painted these on the older 3DTS Donner Pass cars which I enjoy painting. I'm still unhappy with the wheels though so will probably update these as well -- and of course I hope to get weathering as well.

Meanwhile, here' they are:

Outstanding cars!

Here are a couple more, from a town just south of Genesee's Rochester, N.Y., that would make a nice addition to the set:

Here's a link to photos of this micro-brewery that went under, like hundreds (thousands?) of others during the consolidation of breweries in the 1960's.

Note: the attached screenshots are of "O" gauge models; I do not know if Hornell Brewing ever had actual refrigerator cars or not.

Cheers,
Dave

Argh... I couldn't resist. I've known about Iroquois Brewing for long time.

Still hoping to find better images to work with but another quickie off the bench.
