| Athearn PS-5344 boxcar (ex-VTR) with Youngstown door removed and replaced with a Pullman door from an MDC kit. Article will detail this process as well as the painting, lettering, and weathering methods. The model was painted from scratch, but the Athearn pre-decorated car would also be a nice starting point. |
