Looking for a boxcar to carry tools and stuff.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bill

What era?

livesteamsupply.com makes a really nice looking modern boxcar. Mountain Car Company has late 1800's-1950's era, and plum cove has 1800's era (might just be in kit form though) off the top of my head.

Bill,
We developed a 2 bay PS-2 covered hopper with a removable roof, just to give people an option along with the 40' box cars. www.easyhandlingcompany.com

You might want to specify scale and gauge.

...are you looking to BUY or BUILD? If the later, there are plenty of car building examples in the Car Builders Cyclopedias. There's also Train Shed Encyclopedias. Both have numerous photos of cars, dimensions and detail parts. Wanna to have some fun and personal satisfaction? Build it yourself! Carl B.
