Here's an example of what I do with rolling stock that is damaged or missing parts, such as boxcars

Badman,
Setting on a R.I.P track in a yard I would assume?
NOT a bad idea tho!!!!! This would be an awesome way to "show" a "junk" car, missing parts, outside of a service shop area! A few of them, in different arrays of dis-assembly on multiple type cars would look AWESOME!
THEN, to have say a MOW crane, with a magnet on it to move junk into gondolas for scraping would be another interesting set up as well! OR a stationary crane set up for this very purpose BUT that gives the thought of a lot of junk coming off the "line" so.....
ALOT of possibilities tho!

Boxcars without doors I can fix... it's flatcars with ******* HOLES through the deck that deserve this fate. Was removing the pipe load epoxied to an athearn 8-axle flat about an hour ago and at the very end, I twist the screwdriver and POP! A half-inch hole torn clean through the deck.

Connor,
Depending the flat car, I can even fix that. holes in the deck, that is......BUT the 4 truck version, I can fix too, but not with the factory deck itself, but a new type version, possibly a wooden version. As the 4 truck version is got a metal deck on it.....with rivets non-the-less!
