Build carbodies the easy way!
Using cheap car kits, you can build a variety of small custom rolling stock. All you need are wood and / or plastic stock, the basic kits and some imagination.
For instance, our Tool Car is a simple vehicle based loosley on the O gauge crane tender cabeese. It has the caboose section and the tool area. Look closely at the photo - we added tools, some window trim and a Tool Man!

We used wood glue.
Posts were secured with escutcheon pins. It is easy to make almost any rolling stock using this method.
