Which manufacturer makes boxcars with opening doors? MT or InterMountain?
I know Bachman silver series freight car doors open. I have a lot of them. The trouble is that when their open you can see the car weight.

I know MTL makes some boxcars with moving doors......I'm not sure about Intermountain
I'm pretty sure my Sante Fe double door is an Athearn. Both doors moving with no exposed weight.
I have several Athearn BlueBox sets. I got two of them for Christmas that are 50' ACF boxcars single door outside brace(railbox). They aren't very expensive and came with my surprise metal wheels. I did have to put kadee couplers on them because the plastic couplers which is a huge improvement form the old horn hook thingies.
