Hey Shawn, that's YOUR car and if you want to turn it into a Conrail takeover car it's your priviledge. (Just don't over do it, OK? You don't want to give poor Walt a stroke! ) Fun video! And I concur, Weaver products are excellent. There's still plenty of them around especially at shows and the prices are VERY reasonable. Get 'em while you can folks!
Cool Shawn, you should modernize the 40' box and remove the roof walks and put half-ladders as they did in the 70's. That would be cool. Ive done that with a K-Line caboose, kline made it easy to take roof walks off cars as they used small pins to hold them on. I run alot of modern stuff with out roof walks but just as in the real world a few still with them remain out there.
There is no need to modernize the box car because the FCC considered the fact that these cars were on the verge of retirement so it was a waste of time and money to adjust them to the new regulations considering they were due for retirement same thing for the truck as well@@Dakman
I was at a train show where a guy had 38 Weaver car and I told him that I would buy them all at $10 each but he would have to deliver them because I could not carry them on my motorcycle so he brought some to my mom's house. Never want to chase away a bargain. I have a whole box of Milwaukee road Orange refrigerator cars for my orange train car collection.
