A whole raft of electronic signs would likely require a new auxiliary power supply as the existing system doesn't have sufficient capacity. Interiors are easy enough to fix but going to R160 type trucks would mean replacing the carbody bolster and most likely all of the end underframe. You'd be better off starting from scratch - the shells aren't worth that much.That said, the shells are in good shape so they may end up outlasting some of the R46s. They do need a mini-overhaul with upgrades to the doors, air conditioning, propulsion and auxiliary systems. The cars haven't maintained as needed to reliably run for another 5+ years. |
