I have some '70's vintage (mpc era?) traditional 13" passenger cars that I would like to upgrade. The upgrades I would like to do are better lighting, dual center rail pickups, and possibly some type of noise improvement.
Question #1, How do I get the tops off without hurting anything? Not that these cars are hard to find, but I'd rather not trash one just figuring out how to get them open. I would like to upgrade to led lights but first I need to get inside!
Question #2, Does anyone know what the part number is, or where I can find it, for the third rail pickup that presumable just clips into this truck assembly? obviously two pickups is better than one.
Question #3, Can anyone relate a way to make these cars a little quieter. They are not the worst offenders but they are rather loud. I was thinking of possibly laying some foam inside the lower portion of the car, below the window line. That should help some, any other ideas certainly appreciated.
