I got this image from an ebay auction. Not the best pic, but has anyone ever seen one of those white CPR 50ft boxcars before?

DJ Cheeze-Whiz, Get this clown to pull it OUT of the box and snap a few pics of it by itself. I have never seen one before. Intriguing.

Well the offset Pacman and the font style for the herald make it legit in my eyes. Canada-bicentennial style?
I'll probably take a stab at this one... Unless Cheez calls it first.
Gah, this makes me more and more "positive" there must be a black NH plugdoor out there...

How about posting some photos of it Tony if you score it. Would look pretty cool with the other CP boxcars. Sure does throw some color on a layout.

Just what was in the first picture, but yah it was pretty nice. The Morton Salt is a THIRD (actually, the very first) variation with some data movement and no "(R) (as in, 'registered trademark')" bug next to the logos. Bethany claimed the Gerber car cuz it's pink [^]. If you want the others, let me know...
If I had a CP Rail engine I would take a picture of the four-car boxcar set!

No I'm not really interested in anything from that lot.
4 CP boxcars? White, blue, green and...the yellow one with the sliding doors? Or is there a 50fter im missing? Anyway, the 3 50ft boxcars behind a Tyco yellow CP switcher would look great. What a colourful train that would be![:p]

Yeah, you got the 4 cars right (yellow is the 40-footer, unless.... [?])
Actually I had a CP F-Unit in mind: you'd get the dose of red! But the little switcher would look cool too.
Guess I'll have to troll the bay some more. Curses!
