Just finished a couple of boxcar kits...
This one is from Yankee Clipper, and is a model of the CPR's "Minibox" boxcar...
...I built it mostly to the kit's instructions, but added some extra weight, so it's about 5.3oz.
This one is from Red Caboose, basically a Pennsy X-29 slightly modified into a B&O M-26B...
...another offering from Red Caboose, built as per the instructions, as an X-29...
This kit was the same, but I modified the car with some extra hardware to create an X-29 Railway Express Agency car...
This last one is an old Train Miniature version of the X-29, but modified to look similar to some doublesheathed New York Central boxcars, built in 1916, that were later rebuilt in the mid-'30s as steel cars (quite similar to the Pennsy's X-29s), and the Central transferred 300 of them to their Canada Southern subsidiary...
I hope to get back to my baggage car build, now that these are out of the way.
