This is an old Athearn coach. The first passenger car owned, bought used with my own money at a train show. It may have been the first HO car I bought myself. I am guessing I was about 12. I am planning on stripping it and repainting it. The problem? I don't know what happened to the floor or trucks. I am guessing it is still in some box at my parents new house, or in a box that was given to one of my brothers. The chance of finding it amongst their junk is slim right now. I know there were two more coaches like this - but not sure where they wound up.
I can buy a new floor and trucks for about 20 bucks, but I could probably buy a whole new car for much less than than that. Still for sentimental reasons, I am considering buying the new floor and trucks and restoring this one.
