Thinking the one we offer in the company store might be a good candidate for kit bashing the 1961 car. Plus no shipping charges. in looking at the single door PS-1 the car body has several individual tabs whereas the double-door PS-1 has the correct sill as used on the MP/M-I cars in the photos. So it’s not a slam dunk in doing this car OOB. Plus there’s some large reinforcement plates on either side of the door on the bottom. I doubt Kadee would entertain doing this scheme due to all the variables (ie the car is close but not exact).
And that’s why we model the Mop….if we modeled the ATSF you can just buy it off the shelf and run it
