Impact damage happened to the end bracing and I don't remember what happened to the roofwalk. All the missing paint is sanding prep work done years and years ago for repairs that never happened. It was to become a solid gray car in plastic pellet service...maybe one day...

I have about a 14 foot section of rail track that will be near the edge of my tabletop. I'm going to fabricate a decent looking "safety net" that I can place along there during use. I damaged way to many good train cars by falling on the floor in the 70s... Not going to let it happen this time...

Yeah, that's about the time frame in which this one got damaged!

Here's my JotW, an old Bowser/Pennsylvania Scale Models PCC trolley car. I'm hoping to repaint it and slap it on an updated Bowser chassis. The front window looks kind of...crooked. I'm not sure how that would happen to a metal shell but I think the body is still straight enough to mount. Anyway, here it is...
