HO WalthersMainline™ X-29 Boxcars pg 6 2 Feb Online TOC_Feb Online TOC 1/14/13 11:42 AM Page 3 Mix Passenger Equipment With Your Freight Trains As passenger service declined, private individuals began purchasing many older cars with an eye towards saving them for future generations. Over time, what started out as a labor of love evolved into a business, as shops took on restoration and rebuilding projects for others. Rundown cars arrive via the local freight line and, after careful restoration, return to service as charter cars for fantrips, business excursions and more. A railcar restoration and charter facility offers an opportunity to add a variety of historic passenger equipment to your railroad. The Cornerstone Rail Car Restoration and Charter shop building kit is designed for easy construction with loads of details and custom signs. WalthersProto™ charter cars feature a beautiful custom scheme with smoke tinted windows. For more realism the Budd shop car has both tarnished and refinished halves to depict a car undergoing restoration.
