2: Disassemble the underframe of the Athearn caboose
kit. Remove the weight and discard it. I will add square
weights inside the body later. The battery boxes must
be removed and the holes filled in with putty. A thin
piece of styrene is fitted on the top to supply a base
for the body and superstructure.
Two of the short screws can also be removed. Take the
wheels out of the trucks so the trucks can be painted
the same color as the body and chassis. I will replace
the plastic wheels with metal wheels later on.
