To All: This Early Rail Boxcar is on my "To Do" list. It was built by Whit Towers ans presented in a ~!970 issue of Model Railroader. The prototype was built by Hodges Car Company and was discussed in the 1892 Car Builders Magazine. Being 75 feet long (huge for the era) the builder installed a pivoting center truck and angled corners to negotiate around corners, Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout

To All: My newest Early Rail Boxcar project is this Virgina Car & Foundry kit produced by John Canfield. I assembled, painted, decaled (Art Griffin decals) and dullcoated the car. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout
