The third piece of the train now complete.
I wonder, is the shock control an ad for the real car or just the model?

Wow! (or should I say woot! woot!)
By the way, the rolling surface of the wheels should very shiny (unless
your car has been sitting there for too long!) as (a) these surfaces are
machined to be perfectly circular and (b) the rolling friction of the
car on the track gets rid of any surface defect that could present
itself.

Dunno.

I know, they're that way on the locomotive. But in RL the cars don't seem to
get that way nearly as much. I think it's the rubbing of the drive wheels that
get it, the cars don't have any forced rubbing.

These are great !
I really envy your patience.
How many hours does it take to model such a car ?
And when can we expect to see the whole train ?

Not sure. 15? The cars were much less work than the loco.

Well, I can make one with these two cars repeated over and over... I'm
out of boxcars to this scale, but I have two types of tanker, two
hoppers, and two flatbeds I could model. (not all of 'em of course) A
tanker train would be cool, I have 1958 Gulf Oil nad 1992 MKT (both
Lionel).
