Built from the Jordan injected molded kit (not for the faint of heart). I liked the running gear of the Packard so much I just can't cover it with a bed. It will probably end up a load on a more modern truck/trailer. Not very well seen is my attempt at the Packard Single Six. It is painted with Floquil RR tie brown with a thick wash of alcohol and India ink followed by a few different rust colored acrylic washes with clear flat lacquer coats between washes.

Very nice! I wasn't aware of this kit.

Beautiful assembly & finishes!  I "know" all of those tiny little HO bits are really delicate, but your finishes make it look like a big ole heavy truck.  Nice!  -- Dallas

Hey, that is cool. I would not have guessed it was 1/87.....looks 1/48. Nicely done!
