Here is a parts box creation. Inspired by the Southern Rwy 50' TOFC cars rebuilt from boxcars, I decided to build a 40' version for the KY&N. I started with an old MDC 40' Boxcar diecast underframe laying around for several years. Using 3/16" styrene strips from Evergreen, I fashioned a welded sill around the perimeter of the car. The fifth wheel stand is a Details West Part and the brake wheel and rigging were extras I found in my drawer. I added A-Line grab irons to the side and ends of the car and some standard 50-ton freight trucks. The car was painted KY&N Boxcar Brown and lettered as #25290.
