Looks like some good stuff coming. Thanks to Frank and the minions. Here are my guesses for the 5 cars.
NP 1937 AAR boxcar with wood sides
B&O M-55c (or maybe M-55h)
2 B&O M-27 variations
And obviously an ATSF Fe-22.
Yeah, the Fe-22 is obvious. It's also a mini-kit (top image in the blog post) and uses the P2K auto car with end door as the basis. One of the others is a former mini-kit but the base model (IM 10'-6" IH boxcar) is no longer available in kit form. Neither is the P2K, but there are a heck of a lot more of them out there, and at reasonable prices, than the IM. I'm sure most everyone on this list knows that Pierre Oliver offers excellent 10'-0" and 10'-6" IH resin boxcar bodies for those with "orphaned" mini-kits.
