                        it looks to be nicely built and weathered. it just needs some lumber to carry

                        Ditto what Octane Orange said. Well done. Could use some lumber. Different size scraps of balsa wood hanging under there would top it off.

                        Model railroad section of most hobby shops have scale lumber.  You didn't say what scale your carrier is, but you can always use off scale lumber- it just represents some other size.  Otherwise, basswood strip wood may be cheaper- just buy appropriate size.

                        The customer I built it for supplied his own lumber for it. HO scale  1/87th scale. Sorry I'm posting so many previous builds. I'm still working on my new shop.
