My Lionel Moe & Joe car was originally painted for MKT. I decided to repaint it for Lionel Steel.
Disassembling...
I had to strip the shrink wrap and desolder the wires in order to fully remove the trucks...
The figures were painted with craft acrylics. Moe & Joe pose in their new clothes...
I didn't want the silver painted trucks to return to this car, so I stripped and disassembled them. They were eventually painted with Krylon Satin Black.
Flat car was primed Krylon white primer that painted with Krylon Banner Red. Lettering/numbers are Gothic dry-transfer decals from Woodland Scenics...
The simulated diamond tread was painted with Testors aluminum model paint...
Since this is for a steelworks, I removed the wood "planks" and made new ones from sheet styrene. The new styrene "planks" were painted with Testors Silver model paint.
This car will join my Trackmobile and trio of shorty flatcars that carry half sections of tubular track. The three flatcars look like this one...
