Conrail 12, the conference car, is an easy one to model in HO scale, thanks to the Walthers Budd Lounge car. With some underbody, roof and interior modifications, this car will look great on your HO Office Car Special.

My first few attempts at building Conrail 3, the Conrail heavyweight business car, weren’t as accurate as my latest version. Check out the progress of the car and get a few tips on how I made this. I’m building this in conjunction with Conrail research car 19 (Conrail 2).
