Description (HO Scale only):
Accurail 40' Double Door Box
Red Caboose ACF single door boxcar
Modeling Notes:
Accurail - Straighten bottom side sill. *Roof line should be recessed as on
prototype. However, once the model is painted, decaled, weathered – looks good
to me (after the models were weathered I could not tell the difference between
the model and a prototype photo).
Red Caboose ACF single door boxcar - Make recessed roof by
adding .020 styrene strip at top of ends before gluing on roof.
Add second 6’ door. Straighten side sills and add door
guides for new door.
