I took a break from the forney project to build a couple of Railway Recollections flatcar kits. These cars are based on Kennebec Central prototypes. Flatcars 12 and 28 are in the background (as well as #27, temporarily missing a truck).
The kits came with Grandt Line trucks that lack brakes, whereas I had used 3D-printed trucks with brake gear from Marsh Creek Miniatures for flats 27 and 28. Interestingly, some of the Maine two-foot cars, such as on the the B&SR, had brakes only on one truck, so I swapped one truck between the new cars and numbers 27 and 28 to imitate this look.
