Re: Reading Box Car
If you want to scratchbuild one, there's a set of plans in the 1916 CBD. Figures 283 & 284, pages 289 & 290. The CBD is available as a free download on Google Books.

Re: Why not model actual train consists?

Re: Why not model actual train consists? (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
Sorry, I had no idea so many of you owned real train consists!
I would be overjoyed to see even one, for my area, much less timeframe.

Re: Reading Box Car
The covered hopper conversion was used to haul cocoa beans to the Hershey plant in Hershey, PA. Check out Wiseman Model Services (I think) for something close to the trucks.
