I am sure that Tony Thompson and/or Larry Kline can relate the
horrified looks and gasps they received in a class they taught (local

This was a Richard Hendrickson discovery, which I exploited to get the identical result: the moment the razor saw touched the body of the car, there was an audible gasp.
Ted's comments are exactly right. Just try it. And if the thought is intimidating, start with an Athearn body--or a Varney reefer.
