I had this old gondola that was pretty beat up bent sides and missing one end so I didn’t bother fixing it up as rolling stock instead I turned it into a scrap scene I glued in some bits of wire broken couplers old track pieces even part of a busted truck frame then hit it with some brown and black paint to make it look rusted now it sits on a siding like it’s waiting to be cut up I like it better as scenery than as a car I hardly used anyway sometimes the junkers end up being the coolest pieces
Take one standard freight car (boxcar, gondola, flatcar—your choice), and transform it into something totally unique. It could be weathered to look abandoned, repurposed into a static scene, or even kitbashed into a completely new type of rolling stock.
What you can do:
Add loads or cargo
Use graffiti or rust detailing
Modify the body or repurpose it into a mini structure
Invent a fictional railroad with a custom paint scheme
