I hope you O gauge guys can forgive me for this one. I assure you that the shell was from a junk box which cost me the grand sum of $3. S guys have known for years that O27 rolling stock is close to 1:64 scale. The "Baby Ruth" style double door car is withing scale inches of being a perfect fit. So this one became what you see in the last photo. Scalecoat paint and dry transfers came into play and a frame from my parts box plus a couple of trucks finished off the car. With the car rolling down the track at train shows, nobody can tell its origin.
