Re: Round roof double door boxcar
Johannes,
Why would it we incorrect? DT&I built these cars in the 1930s and leased them to the NP in 1961. So they should most assuredly be present on the DT&I circa 1953.

Re: Round roof double door boxcar
Bruce,
it seems that I should take some more english lessons. Understood it just the other way round - that NP leased the cars to DT&I in 1961...
Many thanks for clarification, and again - I

Re: Round roof double door boxcar
So a bigger part of this question is about models of round roof boxcars. I'm excluding the wagon-top, and the Seaboard cars (a Sunshine kit for one of those is coming up soon on my build list), just

Hi Ron,
I convinced myself several years ago that not all of the freight cars on my layout need to be detailed to the nth degree, so I do have a few Accurail, MDC and Bowser cars that are fairly

Re: Round roof double door boxcar
You might also consider the old Athearn metal 40' and 50' cars.
No cast on ladders and grabs, there! My main gripe with them is they don't have the dimple in the roof corner for the grab located

Ron, I too have built PRR X-31s from Bowser kits and the results are actually pretty decent. Not contest quality but quite presentible. The hardest part of redetailing these cars is removing the hand

Very nice.photo. I recently purchased the ex-MDC 50' outside braced car it really looks pretty good surrounded by other cars. I have an X31 on the bench with intentions to do some upgrades.

Re: Santa GFe "Buy War Bonds" lettering, was N&W Boxcar 47302 (Round Roof)
Microscale decal sheet 87-1512 for C&EI has a Buy more War Bonds slogan. But is different from the Santa Fe slogan. I have added the slogan to a Bx-36 I kitbashed using Railroad Roman lettering.
