Lincoln Funeral Car in HO scale

Built form a Roundhouse Overland coach in CP. Truck bolster for the inside trucks is attached to a swing arm made from an old credit card (for stiffness) and fits around the original truck bolster. Yes, the original Roundhouse truck is still attached to its post. In practice, this is not a stable way to run the car. But for static display, it mounts the inside trucks without a lot of fuss and bother. Bunting is spraypainted tissue on styrene strip, the eagle logo is a decal. Roof is built from Styrene in place of the original roof. Car started as CP, paint was not touched at all. Simply covered over. Presented to a historian friend of mine on April of 2009, the exact night the funeral train would've rolled through Irvington Indiana.
