Hey Y'all;
Searched the forum for RDC - got "sorry no matches found".
Apparently not a redundant question then.
Is there a reskinable RDC?
Or in a word that makes sense to me, repaint-able.
Also looking for the 1956 upgraded version where the side fluting wraps around the front to a bit shy of the end door.
Want to do some up for a freelance roadname based on long-departed Athearn HO models of three decades back.
Anyone know of models of the other versions of the Budd RDC?
There is the RDC-1 passenger
Looking for:
RDC-2, passenger, baggage-express.
RDC-3, passenger, baggage-express, RPO.
and the shortened by 10ft 2in,

RDC-4, baggage-express, RPO.

Photos of different RDC versions and some other cars can be seen here.

Have always been curious how top right corner of this one got dented in ever since a different photo of it in a book.

Found a reskinable bus earlier today.
Thanks to who did that. Will have to go back to look to get name.
later,
