Reply to "Standard Gauge project - convert passenger car to interurban"

I would use a 337 type passenger car as a start, they are common and cheap $20-30 as is.

A re-gauged marx motor is also very cheap, but McCoy, MTH, Williams and others have made Standard Gauge Traction motors in the past.

G gauge parts are close enough to Standard Size to work for Headlights and Pantographs.

Dry transfer lettering is still made, you just have to do one letter at a time.

I would strip all the old paint, repair any bad solder joints, prime with a spray can primer from HD.

Finish paint with a bright color spray paint from HD.

Remember this a fun hobby not a paid job.

When it becomes work, STOP.
