Model Railroading on the Cheap

   I remember a household moving company in my home town in the 1950s. They had a big box truck designed for high volume light weight loads with a low floor and an extension above the cab for extra light weight hauling space and hinged doors on the right side (See page 107) as well as the rear. This was good for loading household furnishings up a ramp from the curb.

    I made a slip over cover with the computer printed on card stock paper that will convert a conventional box truck into a van similar to the one that I recall.  It took me several tries to get the proportion correct and the wheel wells in the proper place over the rear axle of the truck.  During that process I printed a few bodies for test with light colors (saves ink) that were not quite correct such as the body too long or the wheel well in wrong place.  I placed some of those bad ones for the one eyed camera to get a shot of business activity at the freight transfer company.
