This is one of those projects that I had a Silver Boxcar around for a long time. I knew that one day I would find a use for it.
I bought “Railway Milk Cars, Volume 3” , which was "DL&W Milk Cars Part 1. Anyway, lookee here:

Apparently they had made 2 milk cars out of boxcars, #1798 &1799. So I created decals on the old laser printer.
One end had the refrigeration unit. I pondered about getting the correct parts for a mechanical unit with sliding doors, then decided this door from the bottom of a 4 wheel caboose toolbox looked good enough. Otherwise the thing would never had gotten done.
This is the other side. The 2 small access doors need some indication of hinges.
Here’s the 2 ends.
Another project done that only took me 5-10 years.
