Soo Line PS-1 boxcar

Here we have a Soo Line billboard PS-1 boxcar that was made from an Athearn boxcar found at another train show for a couple of bucks.  It received the "Thayer"  treatment with all old paint and decals removed and the metal serviced to prevent rust or corrosion.  This car was rebuilt with a full brake system, cut levers, air hoses and other detail parts from various sources such as Scale City Design, Selly Custom Finishes, Walthers, and other sources.  The car is painted with Scalecoat Tuscan paint similar to the Soo Line 's early rebuild boxcars.  The decals are Champion and Microscale.  This car will operate on my Proto Hi-rail layout.  Hope you like it, it was fun to build and detail.
