FWIW comparing the photos of the models on the InterMountain web site the HO model appears to be a copy of the N scale model which was released a few years ago. As Bill suggests in his comments this

Thanks Walt, Tim and Alan for that input, I'll look for that RMC article. I think I can live with most of the Athearn car, but the doors are getting to me, and whether they operate isn't as much of an

Recently purchased a Walthers model of this 40 ft meat reefer, which I remember as a 13 year old. Visited my LHS yesterday and found Athearn now has a model of this car. My question: which is closer

To compound the felony,not all panels on some of the cars were replaced with blisters at the same time.There is photographic evidence showing cars with a combination of panels.This may suggest that as

Tim, You can build the IC, SOO and DSS&A cars with a Sunshine Mini Kit and a IM 10'-6" boxcar kit. However, if you want to be dead accurate model you are stuck with an IC car as the other two

Al, It's mjmcguirk@... -- Thanks. In studying these cars I've noticed the side posts vary widely -- I've seen them in photos from the 1940s and 50s with what I'd describe as "as-built" side

The Athearn 40' steel box has some dimensional problems. It represents 10'6" cars owned by IC, SOO, and DSS&A. With new doors, door tracks and Detail Associates 5/5 S-corner ends, you can really

My Athearn 40-foot steel boxcars (the blue box ones) have got to be re- worked. I've decided those clunky door slides and short-looking doors have got to go. Other listers have probably gone
