Took this screenshot off of Google Earth & I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of boxcar it is?
And if there is a HO model of it

This is in Nehawka, Nebraska
I thought it was a double image on GE

Looks like an old express boxcar. I think I have seen a photo of one of those somewhere before. I'll see if I can find it again.

I never knew these things even exist. I guess you learn something new everyday.

microbusss you should just kitbash 2 ARR 40' boxcars together. Don't know where you would find the trucks though...
If I can't fix it, I can fix it so it can't be fixed.

Those are just express trucks, not too hard to find. Been thinking of kitbashing one myself. Would need to 'chop' the donor boxcars down to express car height, or just use two express cars...

Just start with Train Miniature or AHM steam-era boxcars that are already about that height.
