    So Nick and I went to work on designing a small plug door for the 50' combo door boxcar:

    We had to do the decals from scratch too, but we are happy with this rush job project, at 3.5 hours start to finish including all CAD work:

    Neat cars! Did you get your hands on a new MT car or did you add the extra door?

    very nice, robert. with a lasered door you can make all you want!

    chris, i think that's the new car, because of the "free" brakewheel on the end. the old cars have them molded in. so that means the car is also a repaint.

    keep em coming, robert.
