Walthers UP coil car

Guys,

looking for some advice. Would the Walthers UP coil car (932-3831) with angled hoods fit in to a 2000`s / contemporary scene? Struggling to find any evidence of that type without round hoods. I know aftermarket round ones are available, would they be suitable on the car instead?

questions, questions…

Thanks, Tony

Maybe I should have posted this in the Prototype Info forum?

There’s plenty of angled hoods out there. Not as common as I remember them a few years ago, but plenty of them.

They are out there. I think the latest hoods I’ve seen are actually combined into one long hood.
