I understand that B&M, NH etc etc rebuilt some of their 36 foot box cars. Where can I obtain information on this and is it feasible to carry out a kitbash on Roundhouse/MDC 36 foot cars?

Here is a link to a photo of the NH version of the car on the Steam Era Freight Cars site... steamerafreightcars.com/gallery/boxauto/nh172050main.htmlYou could use an MDC 36' car, but it would need new doors, ends, roof, removal of the truss rods and a newer brake set-up installed. If you really wanted one, I think it would be a fun project!

Thanks for that info. I see that there are a few Silver Streak 36' boxcar kits on the US evilbay, would they be of any use as they have ribbed metal ends, doors I have?
