So after reading about MTH coming out with tinplate transition coupler cars and seeing the prices it did get me thinking about making my own. I do have the small metal adapters but I like the transition car idea. I was very lucky to have a friend give my a tinplate tank car last week that was missing a coupler hood. I thought I had one but I did not so then it occurred to me that I had bought a just lot for the specific reason of getting some postwar trucks to make a transition car. The tank car is like the one that MTH is making but this one has cost a lot less.
So, here are a couple of pictures. Thoughts?
