    hihttp://www.athearn.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=ATH70038
    I need to sort out the suitability of some of my atsf boxcars so I ask for your advice
    I would like to know if this boxcars can be prototopically used in the period between 1955 to 1961
    I will ask step by step as this cars became available as I have them boxed away
    all your guidance and patience is highly appreciated
    thank very much

    The book Santa Fe Freight in Color Volume One - Boxcars says the Bx-37 class cars were built in 1940-42 and shows photos of several Bx37's and other classes in that scheme well into the 1970's.

    can this boxcars like The Chief El Capitan the Scout etc.[with straight maps] all run together with each others in freight service in one time ?
    thanks

    I'd say the answer to both questions would be yes.
