Hey All,
Well, I removed the roofwalks, cut down the ladders on the corner without the brakewheel - I left the brakewheel high as the railroads did this when the cars first had the roofwalks removed, I removed the 8' door and replaced it with a modified LGB 10' door. I also added the angled reinforcement sheets on each side of the door (my first attempt at putting rivets into a sheet of styrene). The picture shows my modified car (top) and a stock USA Trains car (bottom).
