Opinions/observations on HO rolling stock

[nachoman]

Wow, I haven't checked this thread in awhile - some very inspiring work here. I've got a few old trainset bachmann/tyco/ahm cars to upgrade. Some of them don't fit with my era, but they are still fun to work on. You can build a decent fleet from these train set cast-offs by simply adding wire grabs, new stirrups, body mount couplers, new trucks, and some paint and weathering.
