Just finished 3RS’ing another Lionel PS-1 40’ boxcar. This time it was an uncataloged Rutland car produced by Lionel for the 2008 TCA convention in Burlington, VT. Like the Erie PS-1 boxcar above, Mario’s shims (from Shapeways) made adding Kadees a breeze...and like the Erie car, I couldn’t stop with only swapping out the claws for scale couplers: this car also got the full weathering treatment inside and out. Here are some cell phone shots of both the "before" and "after". Thanks for looking!
Before-right out of the box...
