This week"s SG refurb project 500 series Pacemaker boxcar | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I know MTH made a Pacemaker boxcar in SG but... it's a 200 series and I wanted something to run with my smaller locomotives. So I took a somewhat rusted Ebay 514 and made my own. It's not completely done yet but it's coming along pretty good. I did learn a lesson while doing this car though, Never use dry transfers on a surface that has so many indentations and never use old ones either. I had an awful time getting them to fully transfer but after some touchups and clear coat you would have to look very close to notice.

Very nice! What color are you going to paint the roof?

I painted the roof red. I've seen these with black or gray roofs but.... red is the right color for this paint scheme.

If I can find some decals I might do a tank car in the Pacemaker scheme.
