Extending the roof for Lionel 610








Sometimes you purchase an item with a trouble. Like this Lionel 610 passenger car, which I could purchase for bargain, but without a roof. Later I found a roof, but it was half an inch too short.
Therefore, I first splitted the roof exactly in the middle with a Dremel equipped with diamond wheel. Next, the roof was extended with a brass strip, soldered back together, plastered, sanded and painted with black anti-rust primer.
Now all that is left to do is to restore the rest of the passenger car.
