Last year, when there were only rumors and speculation after MT's release of Allied trucks, there was some discussion on the forum about the possibilities of either scratch-building or (hopefully) kit-bashing some of the post-war equipment some railroads built using retired troop sleepers. It was suggested to me that by the time I got one scratch-built, MT would have released a troop sleeper and, of course, the suggestion was correct! Now that I have troop sleepers in hand, I am eager to get started bashing a Bangor and Aroostook "buggy" and have been planning and thinking the project through but I am hung-up on "blanking out" windows. Just painting over the clear plastic inserts doesn't look like it will be satisfactory. Therefore, a question: have any of you out there begun a bashing project with these cars and, if so, what method did you use to plug the unwanted window openings? I eagerly await your responses.
