Rebuilding a Life-Like 40ft Boxcar - sailormatlac - 01-10-2017 This one came from the left field! Having some Intermountain parts on hand, I asked myself if I could improve a Life-Like no Proto boxcar. The answer is yes, but after replacing all the faulty parts, only the sides remained! How it started: Then: This is my take on a NSC 10'6" high 40ft boxcar. The car is now lettered and ready for weathering. Matt Re: Rebuilding a Life-Like 40ft Boxcar - sailormatlac - 01-16-2017 Done! Matt Re: Rebuilding a Life-Like 40ft Boxcar - e-paw - 01-17-2017 Very nicely done sir.
