Detailing an Accurail car.

[Deem]

I carved off the moulded on details and replaced them with brass. Also added brake levers and redid the undercarriage.

Very nice.  I like the paint as well.

Dang, that looks great. I wouldn't have been able to tell.

That's some mighty fine modeling.

Thank you Mike. It came painted, but I mixed a batch of various colour tones that matched the car to depict some lighter and darker boards, plus weathered it.

Thanks Rich.

Here is a model, as friend many years ago detailed. I think it is an Athearn flat car. It is not protoypical. I put the boards on it.

Thanks. I'd like to find another CNR accurail boxcar and turn it into a bunk car.

Howdy Deem, the paint and weathering on the Accurail car look fantastic.  Excellent work removing cast-on details.  Have fun, mike

Thanks for the kind words, Mike.

Here are a few other Accurail cars where I removed the cast on details and modified them.
