O scale - Updating some Atlas/Roco cars
Hello all,
I've some old rolling stock from Roco (1970's production for Atlas) at home and I would like to modify them to obtain updated cars for my little project of US layout.
They are good bases. I've compared an actual Atlas boxcar with a 70's one: the body is exactly the same: I was surprised!

Thank you Kurt.
