I purchased a number of Evans boxcars for projects, and the first is complete. I’ve also been experimenting with weathering using pastels. It’s a little pricey as a lot of clear coat is required, but I’m pretty happy with the results.

Looking good. All you need now is a little graffiti. 
Those BCOL combo doors were quite frequent down here in Seattle. I’ve always liked the look of those. Good job.
Any in progress photos?
Thanks Guys.
Craig, yes there are. Is there something specific you’d like to see?
Shane
The plug door and sliding hardware.

By modernizing you mean remove the roof walk and new trucks?only thing that bothers me about the USA cars, is the trucks on most of them
Hi Pete. Yes, roof walks removed and holes patched, ladders shortened, brake lowered, crossover platforms added, Kadee couplers, and Aristo trucks with metal wheels.
Here’s two in progress.
