Walthers/Branchline 12-1s and New England Rail Conversions
Discussion related to everything about model railroading, from layout design and planning, to reviews of related model tools and equipment. Discussion includes O, S, HO, N and Z, as well as narrow gauge topics. Also includes discussion of traditional "toy train" and "collector" topics such as Lionel, American Flyer, Marx, and others. Also includes discussion of outdoor garden railways and live steamers.

I am just curious if anyone has tried a New England Rail service conversion on a Walthers or Branchline car yet, I know they are designed for Rivarossi, but can't be that hard to modify.
Thanks,

Looks like the NERS parts would just about fit the Branchline sides, though the rivets might not match. I'm sure the owner of the site will eventually add the Walthers sides to his comparison - obviously they're still quite new so there's not much info on them yet.
