doctorwayne's 2013 Get Off Your Duff Challenge - Part 1

[nachoman]

I've got a couple of those life-like cars. I replaced the grab irons, stirrups, trucks, and couplers with items I had on hand and it looks pretty good. It was one of those zero-budget projects because I was unemployed at the time, so I didn't fool with the undercarriage. I've got a bunch old trainset cars from my youth that will someday get the same treatment. Even though it may be cheaper to just buy new better quality cars, there is something enjoyable about upgrading these old cheapies.
