Beat me to the CN version I was gonna make that my first project once I get PS on my new computer.

CN has around 5 different paint jobs on this type of boxcar... Large noodle as shown, wwebsite logo, noodle with Canadian national written on the car... Etc so you still can make one and have it a complete different car

A lot of the photos I can find have a second small door like this.

Looks like an ex Railbox ABOX car.

Not sure if it's the same kind of traincar or not, but here you go.

Is that juice car referred to as an Auto parts boxcar?

jmslaking:
I believe that's a specialized refrigerated car from the 1970's. Good read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juice_Train

Judging by the undercarridge tanks, and other indicators, I'd say it's a refrigerator car.

Most auto parts boxcars are also very long.

The fate of the railboxes - WIP, a few hours left.

That makes me wonder mike. Is it possible to take a beat looking car like that and do the axle lock caps in a med blue, to simulate a recent shopping of the wheels?
Also we now have two weathered versions. What about one in resplendent bright new lievery?

CSX did end up with a bunch of these cars, but like the BN, replaced the doors with a different style. I could relatively easily generate CSX and BN versions of the model if anyone is interested.

That would be very nice.

Would it be possible to create a right/left decal for the notice boards on the doors? My unloader at the plant has an absolute issue with both sides of the car saying 'Unload from other side'. He just keeps walking around the car until his time runs out for the day.

Also, if you would be so kind as to post the layered version of the brakewheel texture I would appreciate it. It is hard to get a clean, newish version without the AO layer.

[MaineLines]

Sorry about the stress on your unloader. I'll bet that situation has occurred in real life.

Unfortunately the brake wheel texture is not layered. It's a photo texture.
