Hi Bob , and thanks for all your suggestions . At one point I had 3 of the Lionel milk cars along with a bunch of other farm related flats and box cars . I sold 99% of them due to me wanting to collect standard gauge. I’m wanting to keep my current milk car project more in lines with the 500 series that I have like simple graphics and a bright color . With being said , I did work on the hand rails yesterday and came up with what you see here . Everything is still in a prototype stage . In two of the photos you can see the holes in the flatcar that I want it cover/hide where the stanchions once were . Least of my worries at this moment.
