Indeed, Douglas. Ted Culotta's Essential Freight Car #8 is a CN' 40' steel-frame boxcar. Numbered CN 503500-513499, these ten thousand 1929-1931-built cars were seen all over North American rails. http://www.cnrphotos.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=16802 Accurail makes a very nice shake-the-box model that can be detailed up for slightly different predecessor CN 500500-503499, of which CN had 3,000. But only resin kits are available for the CN 503500- series. Though I must admit that I will buy some UTLX X-3's when they come out...
