Good afternoon folks. I have recently found time to come back to modelling and whilst digging around in my "stuff" found a set of Athearn Budd cars I had purchased to, at some stage, convert to look alikes for my layout. In the dim dark recesses I recall seeing an article in AMRM on this very conversion but can't for the life of me find it. I have tried my friend the search button to no avail. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction please?

Type in "BUDD" in search description and take your pick
