I carefully positioned an end-wall and side-wall upside down, using a block of basswood and masking tape to ensure alignment and a square corner. Note the end-walls attach to the ends of the side-walls. They do not fit between the side-walls. I glued up the corner joints with Testors liquid cement and then joined the two halves together. Evergreen Styrene 0.100” angle covers the corner joints and finishes the corners. I added Tichy 0.030” rivets to both faces of each corner angle. The five 0.060” x 0.125” styrene floor support cross-members went in next. They are CA glued to the brass angles. The 0.030” x 0.125” V-groove floor is installed on top of the floor supports. I cut the floor to size, then slid it into place through one end of the carrier. Testors cement holds it in place. Assuming you have added all rivets, nut/bolt/washer castings, and grabs, this completes the tie carrier. To keep the rails on the car, the Burlington dropped short stakes into each unused stake pocket. The interior faces of these wood stakes were faced with steel strips to stave off damage from bouncing rails (another opportunity to use those Grandt Line nut/bolt/washer castings). Just to be different, I made my stakes from Evergreen 0.100” styrene I-beam. They are 9/16” long. The Q also bolted 6” x 12” beams at the ends of the car to prevent the rails from shifting length-wise and spearing the adjacent car. I cut my beams from 0.125” x 0.250” styrene. I carved wood grain into the sides and left the beam tops smooth to simulate steel plated tops. More Grandt Line nut/bolt/washer castings were used here, five per end. The last detail I added to the flat was the six 0.015” x 0.080” styrene strips that run crosswise on the deck at roughly equal intervals. On the prototype, these steel strips protected the deck planking from rail gouges and scrapes. I painted the deck strips and tops of the deck end-beams with Model Master Steel Non-Buffing Metallizer. This stuff looks like old steel, to which I add thinned streaks of rust. I brushed Star Dust Smut weathering onto the deck and car-sides to kill the new car look and add a look of years of service. The tie carrier was lightly sprayed with Floquil Gray Primer. Jerry Roy airbrushed the tie carrier with a hue of boxcar brown, by Model Flex. We deliberately chose to use a slightly different hue than the flatcar itself to indicate the tie carrier was added later. There you have it. Now you get to choose between two different looking rail and tie cars; build one or both. Either car would fit right into just about any work train.
