Modifying the Lionel 6-17209 B&O DD Boxcar
This Lionel "standard" model was first issued in 1993 (BLT 1-93 LIONEL). It appears to be modeled after a modern outside ribbed 50 foot boxcar. However the lettering appears to be a copy of a much earlier "Automobile" boxcar. It is marked NEW 7-45.
The Lionel trucks were remounted so that the trucks actually pivot on the truck centers. The original Lionel truck mounting is offset.
On this model the plastic underframe was also painted to simulate a wooden floor.
