Walters NSC well car (3-unit)
I bought a 3 pack of these cars, but there is no drawbar to connect the 3 cars together. Are they supposed to come with one or do I have to get it separately?

Scratchbuilding On30 Freight Cars - My Approach (photo heavy)
Hi all,
Scratchbuilding and kitbashing locos and rolling stock is one of my favourite aspects of the hobby, and On30 is a good scale for this. As such, about a third of the rolling stock on my layout is scratchbuilt. The most recent addition was a 16' logging flatcar. This was built with the method I usually use for my scratchbuilt rolling stock. I'd like to share this method here, in case someone else finds it useful.

I don't see any molded ID for the manufacturer and was wondering if anyone has any idea who made such units?
