N Scale boxcars -

Guess I wasn't specific enough - for purposes of this clinic, just 40'
PS-1's.

But... the info re: MicroTrains is good - I couldn't tell from the
description whether the "standard" boxcar was a PS-1. Are there
various Superior (6- and 7-panel) and Youngstown doors available? I
can't tell from the MT web-site whether they sell doors separately.

stated so far...
Atlas (ex-"kit" now Trainman car)
Aurora Postage Stamp/MiniTrix
Bachmann
Model Power / China
LifeLike (temporary use of MiniTrix shell)
Micro-Trains (only accurate body height car)
Also, since the length wasn't specified, there are several 50' "PS1"
cars as well-
Atlas (Roco)
MiniTrix (Roco)
MicroTrains (accurate body height cars in several door configurations)
Athearn (accurate cars in different door configurations than M-T)

There are two "PS-1s" on the market in N scale - an old Atlas model
which frankly leaves a lot to be desired and the "Standard" Micro-
Trains 40-foot boxcar. The M-T box is a very good representation of
a 40-foot PS-1 - and the doors are interchangeable.

Yes, MT offers their doors separately, although only 6' and 8' versions. Any
authorized MT dealer or online shop can get these for you. Intermountain doors
from their 10'6" kits may also fit, but I have not personally tried.

As to 7' doors, does anyone know of an N scale source? I could use a bunch to
detail out my LV cars.

MT makes both Youngstown and 7 panel Superior in the 6' size for the 40' PS-1's.
