Lawman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm not sure if this should have been placed in the "kit Bashed" forum but I thought I would try here... I purchased an entire train recently that didn't receive the best of care but 95% of it, I was (or will be) able to, repair. This car took a beating and since I don't have anything else like it, I'd like to fix it. I've seen some of the guys in this forum do some pretty incredible things soooooo.. Is this car salvageable or would you use it for parts? Appreciate your time Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl_special Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Charles, this car can be easily repaired. I even have the ends of an MTH car similar to yours. I'll take some pictures of the ends and post them today. They're just junk to me, but you'll be able to cut out what you need and throw the rest away. I don't sell parts to other people, you just pay for postage and I'll mail them to you after the Holiday rush slows down. Some glue, some squadron green and a little paint is all you need.

xl_special Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Charles, here's the picture I said I'd post. If you think you can use the cars end. I'll cut it off for you and mail it after Christmas. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawman Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Larry, Looks like they were in the same wreck! Funny how the parts that are OK match the broken areas of mine! I'd be happy to pay the postage,just let me know how you want it sent. By the way... How would you cut the sections off? Dremel? Thanks again Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl_special Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Charles, send me your mailing address to ltrumbull1@gmail.com. I live way out in the sticks, so I won't be going to the post office til after the holidays. Dremel has come out with a plastic cutting wheel that makes it easy. The problem is, it melts the plastic as well as cuts it. When you do your repairs, use a very fine razorsaw. I don't know how much you intend to replace, so I'm just going the wack off the entire end of the car and send it to ya. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
