Cool build! This sparks my curiosity.............. could someone take 2 pairs of Red Caboose X29 company doors and make this work on a USRA SS box car? I have 100s of those Creco-similar X29

Here is a newly built Westerfield PRR X26 SS 40' boxcar with a welded 6' car builder door. Some X26 boxcars had these interesting doors, made by welding together two original 4' auxiliary doors.

Oops! The message I responded to had a link that led to the Delano photo on the group's home page... for whatever reason. I know that photo is Bensenville Yard. Since I've seen your recent message, I

Jim Hayes asked: "I found this stock car body buried in some air brushing equipment. I can't find a box for it and have no idea what it is. Can you help me. It appears

I ‘think’ it may be a Northern Pacific car(radial roof-like the NP boxcars. I think Chooch might have had one on the 1980’s. Someone else had one. I’ll try to remember who. Bill Smith
