36 foot rebuilt box cars

[trev]

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...

You 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?
