Absolutely! I figure I will change things a tad once I start laying track...A 12" x 7' is a lot of N Scale real estate.

When I switch primary scales from HO to N I swore I wouldn't indulge in collecting short line IPD boxcars like I did in HO.
However,I just can't seem to pass by those colorful boxcars that I recall so well..So,my C&HV is sit in '78/79.
And yes that's why all my industries (except the power plant and Landstar) uses boxcars.
