Labelle Build

I have finished four Labelle boxcars.  I think I now have a good idea of how they go together and will do a build page on the construction of the next one.  It is a 34 foot car lettered for the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic. 

Here is a progress photo of the turntable.  The pit walls are attached.  The next step will be adding cinders to the pit floor and addition of the bridge rails.  From past experience I have found that attaching the bridge rails is best done when the turntable lead tracks are in place.  It is imperative that the rails on both ends of the bridge align with the lead!
