    So I got this cool kit from the Bay. It is an OLD Main Line Models kit of a Tiffany Reefer (and I mean OLD...instructions have yellowed completely). Now there is no doubt that it will be built but how? I thought "WWTGOTB DO??" I can build it as it was produced, along with its PRINTED doors, hinges, and other door hardware, or I can build it and cover the printed stuff over with Grandt Line parts.

    Now there is something to be said for building it as produced, making a quoint conversation piece as it travels the pike, preserving it as a model from another time. BUT in this day and age it can look much better with the add on parts.

    SO: What Would the Guys On Train Board DO????"

    Consider it a renovation with all the current codes. Add on the details.
