I’ve taken advantage of very few, short-lived lulls in my
industrial jobs to work on the SAL B7 boxcar design. As of today,
about 70% of the CAD work is done. The kit will include new brake
parts, new draft gear box (based on John Degnan’s design), new
5/6/5 door and new photo-etched (stainless steel) stirrup steps,
brake platform, roofwalk and side/end grabs.
The design work that is completed includes the body, underframe,
brake parts, draft gear box, Ajax brake housing and tack boards.
Work that remains includes the etched stirrups/grabs and the door.
Next week’s schedule appears to have about a day’s worth of
available time so I plan to take advantage of that and knock out
the etched parts.
All new parts will be added to my detail parts line once the boxcar
kit is in production.

shots.
