Reworking the Lionel 6-17208 Union Pacific 50 FT Double Door Modern Boxcar

This Lionel standard O 50 foot modern outside braced double door boxcar is a well constructed model. Built 1992. It includes regular Bettendorf style sprung trucks. The model has been reworked using Atlas 3-Rail Roller Bearing trucks. The new truck wheelbase is 10-1/8 inches or about 41 scale feet. The Atlas trucks allow the body to sit somewhat lower above the rail.

The roof and ends on this UP car are unpainted aluminum.

Other planned modifications include a painted interior wood floor.
