I vote for one piece bodies with separate floors. If there are end variations, false ends. The issues with truing up the sides and getting everything equal make a unibody infinitely preferable to a

I have misaligned more than a few flat kits, particularly when cast parts had a little bow in them. I would like a squared up core or sub body. If I'm not mistaken the Suncoast freight car kits had

I started a Westerfield X23 box car kit at the end ofNovember and just returned to work on the underframe the other day. There werea few grey areas in the instructions but I figured out the parts

Just a thought.... How about a one piece sub shell somewhat like the Accurail body, which could be solid and square, to which we could attach painted and detailed sides and ends? Either the roof
