Jon's Custom Made Cars

SGMA member Jon Hinderer came up with some really unique cars for his Pride Lines Voltamp steeple cab loco to pull. Jon writes:

Thanks for the compliment on the mining cars. They're heavily kit-bashed "G
scale" logging cars from Ozark miniatures: I'm working on several more. Whole
thing started when I went looking for Voltamp couplers, and came up with link
and pin logging couplers that hook up to the Voltamp steeplecab by Pride Lines
quite well. There's a bit of work to enlarge the wheel sets from 2 inch to
2 1/4 for Standard Gauge, but nothing patience and a small file can't
accomplish.

Click on the photo to enlarge it, These are great looking cars!
