I couldn't decide between "Customizing & Kitbashing", "Tyco Rolling Stock", or "The Slippery Slope!" so I chose "COTW".
A Mantua Erie box car offered as "parts only". It's a Mantua chassis with either a LifeLike or Varney body. The fit of chasis to body is a bit wishfull thinking, but it seems to work OK. The body is glued to the chasis; I mounted knuxkle couplers. No telling what original Mantua body was sacrificed. Why didn't Mantua/Tyco offer Erie paint scheme?
