I know real world conversions are out there. I am looking for a N scale ready made model so I don't need to make my own.

N scale Washita and Santa Fe RailroadSouthern Oklahoma circa late 70's
I have seen pictures dated to the mid 80's, that show HW baggage cars in MOW service on the SF in Texas and Oklahoma. I have never seen a picture of a smooth side light weight car in that service. IIRC all of Santa Fe's light weight passenger and head end cars were transferred to AMTRAK.
I want a N scale baggage car converted to ATSF MOW service. Does anyone make a ready to run version? I have not found one. Appears I will need to convert one myself for use in 1970's era. From what I have found so far, it appears that a 70' smooth side light weight baggage car is best candidate for conversion. I know that heavy weights were also used for MOW but I suspect they were mostly gone by 70's. Any specific guidance on best approach to do this?
