My son and I finished repainting a MTH 40' Boxcar that was originally a TCA York car.  We used decals from Highball Graphics IMO-046 Rock Island 40' PS-1 Boxcar - Green and used Minuteman Scale Model Scale Coat II Spray paint Number 2077 Reading Green, then sprayed the car with Testors Model Masters clearcoat.  We had fun making the car and very satisfying seeing the end product, we will be making more cars soon, we have 8 more MTH 40' boxcars to repaint.  Now we have to decide what railroad boxcars to paint, maybe Maine Central or Bangor & Aroostook.  I did strip the body using Minuteman Scale Hobby Scalecoat II Wash Away Paint Stripper for Plastics, it was more work than we thought it would be, might lightly sand graphics on next project then prime the entire car.  

Thanks

George
