Rebuilding a Life-Like 40ft Boxcar
#1
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:

This is my take on a NSC 10'6" high 40ft boxcar. The car is now lettered and ready for weathering.

You did a nice job on the weathering, too. Thumbsup Thumbsup
