OK, so the title was a little misleading.....I made a new model FROM an LGB ACF 50' boxcar.
The car I made is a Berwick built 50' boxcar that matches the prototype cars built in 1972 for the DT&I.
Here's the finished car:
Some mods I did were replacing the ends with scratchbuilt ones, new scratched lower side sill, new stirrup steps, ACI label bracket, Logo panel and rub strips, and making the extended cushion coupler pockets. I still need to add cut levers and airhoses.
Here's a picture of it after the mods but before I painted it.....if it's white or brass I made it
Enjoy!
