Reply to "Weaver Troop Sleeper's"

The floors in these cars are well known to be afflicted with zinc pest. Probably more Troop cars have the problem than not. Atlas did make a run of replacement floors. As I recall, you had to transfer the details to the new floor. (The details do not have the problem.) Contact Atlas to see if they have any left in stock, and if not, when are they likely to have more available. Take the availability date as an estimate and double it! Just the way things are these days.

Short term, there are 3 options: Make a crude substitute from sheet styrene, find a good floor and make a silicone mold and resin castings, or find someone to 3D print you some replacements. Any of these will get back up and running.

BTW, check all your troop cars and remove any warped floors you find. That will prevent damage to the shell.
