Thanks for the link, buss. Please note the word "actual." The list could be used for reference purposes, but due to the upheaval that Tyco went through, I wouldn't be surprised if the physical car was not produced.

This is an Athearn car. Strasburg Railroad box car, not exactly a box car you see every day.

TopTrain- Bev-Bel or Athearn also made the 40 foot steel boxcar in SRC. Somewhere I have that one and will post if I can locate it. I like the overall look of your wood sided car.

Here is a list of all the ones I have not found images for. Images I am looking at ARE NOT CATALOG IMAGES. Those don't count. I'm talking actual images of these cars either in the wild, still in their boxes, in auctions. These final ones would bring to total to 50 if they can be located.

NEW HAMPSHIRE
RHODE ISLAND
MAINE
DELAWARE
NORTH DAKOTA
WEST VIRGINIA
IDAHO
ALASKA
HAWAII
MONTANA
VERMONT
UTAH


Good Hunting, everyone!!
