HO Passenger set renames
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, November 4, 2004 10:21 PM
I want to add another passenger car setup to my little line. I already have the Athearn Santa Fe set, and because of the curves on my layout being 18" and 22" I need to stay with 60'or 72' max lengths. This time, however, I want to keep with a Midwestern road name and am looking at the Wabash.

That being said, my research has turned up nothing in 60 or 72 ft passenger cars for Wabash.

I have found some 60 ft Heavyweights that I like made by Rivarossi and listed in the current Walthers catalog. They were/are offered in a 4 car set; RPO, Baggage, Combine and Coach. A LHS has a couple of them in the Western road names in Pullman Green with gold or what they refer to as enhanced lettering.

My question is, has anyone done a name change on these cars and if so how difficult is the process? I'm not into air brushing so complete stripping and repainting isn't in the equation this time around. Would just like to mask out the existing road name and apply Wabash decals to the cars.
