You probably saw these in the RPO thread, but I put them together last week.
They are not super-detailed so assembly was quick.
The first is an Accurail kit of a 40′ box car. Seaboard #23164.
The second kit is an Athearn kit for 50′ double door box car #9148. Unfortunately this kit came with three left doors and one right so only one side is finished. I’m trying to get another door so I can complete it.
As usual I painted the trucks, replaced the wheels with metal ones (also painted) and installed Kadee couplers. At some point I'll go back and weather them.
