here are some photos of what I've done so far.
I first tried to just remove ladder rungs but it didn't look good so I removed entire ladder and replaced them , trucks were changed to roller bearing ones and correct 36 inch wheels milled .040 0ff bolsters to get correct coupler height , also added 12 scale inches to ends of car to make the porch(for lack of proper name) to resemble proto cars . this one is going slow as its the first made many mistakes with it.
