| CLINIC: Fix Up Those Old HO Freight Cars! | ||
| DAY: Friday | TIME: 7:30–8:30pm |
ROOM: Radnor |
| DESCRIPTION: We all have them, those older–and sometimes not so old–HO freight car models that could use an upgrade. Blue box freight cars look so much better when they get thinner running boards and better brake wheels. Coupler boxes and flimsy or poor looking couplers can and should be replaced. Adding weight to your models to reach NMRA standards will make a big difference. Underframes often cry out for a replacement. Retouching paint and adding decals can improve a model, as well. This clinic will show you how to make your HO freight cars look and run better. |
