Guess I wasn't specific enough - for purposes of this
clinic, just 40'
PS-1's.

But... the info re: MicroTrains is good - I couldn't
tell from the
description whether the "standard" boxcar was a
PS-1. Are there
various Superior (6- and 7-panel) and Youngstown doors
available? I
can't tell from the MT web-site whether they sell doors
separately.

Actually, there are more N Scale 40'

"PS1" cars on the market than
stated so far...

Atlas (ex-"kit" now Trainman car)
Aurora Postage Stamp/MiniTrix
Bachmann
Model Power / China
LifeLike (temporary use of MiniTrix shell)
Micro-Trains (only accurate body height car)
Also, since the length wasn't specified, there are

several 50' "PS1"
cars as well-

Atlas (Roco)
MiniTrix (Roco)
MicroTrains (accurate body height cars in several door

configurations)

Athearn (accurate cars in different door

configurations than M-T)

There are two "PS-1s" on the market in N

scale - an old Atlas model

which frankly leaves a lot to be desired and the

"Standard" Micro-

Trains 40-foot boxcar. The M-T box is a very good

representation of

a 40-foot PS-1 - and the doors are interchangeable.
