Hi, please see attached photo.

These should be simp[le . Could you take the radiator off the roof. And put a vent set on the side towards on end. The radiator being moved internally type idea. Taker the door one the side and move other towards the center. Maybe a matching one on the other side. Take the running gear off the frame. add two foot wide porches to the front and rear. Make it a scale 50' long. The air tanks should be twice the diameter and twice the length to hold the needed air capacity. And pop off the grab irons and just have small holes (#78 bit size) Should not be hard. I thought it would look good as a jack rod style in a 6 or 8 couple design with a jack rod. Those changes will up date it about 20 years to fit the era where jack rod designs for boxcars were experimented with.

Yikes, yeah, let's see if we can get that cleaned up for you. Sucks that you have to reprint to see if it a new file works better

Nah, no issues with reprinting. For the HO size, I figured out how to cut the roof off so that it would print. You can zip up the new file and post it here. I'll download it and give it a try. N scale first of course haha :)
 


Were you able to integrate the 11-109 template into the OO boxcab? Might be a bit small as I'm thinking about it. Perhaps scale it down a bit?

Then you need to add Cara's Coffee Shop and Doc's Paintball shop to the layout. They are from the webcomic The Whiteboard and the stores are run by Polar Bears.

I do! It's a commission I made for a coworker. I wish it was mine!!! Can't remember who made the locomotive. Might have been MRC
