[quote user="BigDaddy"]Practicing on throw away cars is a great idea. [/quote] There is (almost) no such thing.  Most cars can be salvaged or used for kitbashing projects.  You can remove the X2F coupler and install a Kadee coupler box with No5.  The trucks can be removed and holes filled in with styrene or spare sprue piece.  File the sprue flat and drill hole, install Kadee or plastic Accurail trucks. Speaking of trucks. Plain bearing trucks (the ones you have there) would probably have a little less rust and more on the order of dirt/oil (not too much of the oil).
