A while back I posted about  my layout plans, and the period I'm modeling, the late 60s and early 70s of the RFFSA, PSC division, in Brazil. Recently I've made some progress and I've got some proper rolling stock for it. To start, trains around that time used to mostly haul soy beans in box hopper cars. One of the modern cars by then was the FD, a 54ton capacity (80ton max total weight), manufactured by MAFERSA, a now extinct car shop.
