I had a pile of cars to run through the shop for ride height fixes and Kadee conversions. Part of this set of cars was three Lionel PS-1 boxcars. I’ve had these in the past but I had sold most of them off. Lately I managed to pick up a few more here and there and got around to setting them up. I found that they could be dropped about 3/32” if the built-in rocker/bolster thing could be ground down on the frame. I was able to pry off the end stirrups and sand the rockers flat using my bench sander. I had to make an adapter bushing out of styrene tube to take the place of the raised mount on the rocker. Last phone pic is comparison with an Atlas car after lowering.
Like how you lowered the boxcar.
