Modifying a Lionel 6-9128 Heinz Pickle Vat car

 

The Lionel 6-9128 was produced between 1974 and 1976 by MPC (Lionel). The original car is a basic plastic model with a sheet metal underframe and plastic (non-sprung) trucks.

 

My model has been reworked to include a fully detailed replacement underframe, new stamped metal steps, and metal sprung trucks. The attached photos show the original as-built car and the completed modified model.
