Aurora Greenbrier 7550 60' Boxcar MWCX 501017
Excellent detail ! I didn't like the silver bottom door rail so I painted it with some Testor's Rust. I wanted Micro-Trains couplers, so I removed the couplers that come on the car. M-T Body Mount Medium Shank Couplers 001 10 003 (1016) were a very easy swap. They fit perfectly where the old couplers were. Even with the two modifications I made, this is an excellent, highly detailed model of a modern box car. Aurora has introduced some really great products that for me, are worth the money.
