xl_special Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Jerry, there's one on Ebay for $75.00 starting. Its Penn but there is no reason you couldn't repaint it using TC paint. I've got the decals and stripes. Easy to strip. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MTH-RAIL-KING-G-1-GUAGE-70-68023-PENN-STREAMLINE-OBSERVATION-CAR-NRFB-W-SHIPPER-/121510787019?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item1c4a9b77cb Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks Larry, had thought of that but I hate stripping and painting! :-) What is your strip method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl_special Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Jerry, here's a pretty good article. I picked up one of the long green plastic pans to strip my MTH passenger cars in. After 8 to 12 hours, they come out spotless with no damage to the plastic. http://www.gscaletrainforum.com/index.php?/topic/185-paint-removal/ Hope this helps, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Interesting Larry, thanks. Might go with the alcohol, since I can get that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
