Digging through some boxes of cars in storage netted this find. I had bought it quite some time ago but boxed it up for an impending move. Deciding to continue with my modernization, I put new trucks and metal wheels on it. New trucks necessitated new couplers. Kadee couplers were installed and had to be shimmed down to match my coupler gauge. The roof walk had been removed and the mounts for it partially filled in. The cast on grab irons on the side looked undersized and lacked the dimension I wanted. Shaving them off was enough practice to tackle the sub sized marker lights at the corners. With those removed, new end marker lights will be installed on the roof. So with that done, it is time to tackle some of the windows and blank them out. Painting it will come next.
