Does anyone make a kit of these boxcars? I don't know what the original road name was so also, What site do you guys use to look up stuff like that? thanks
The East Camden and Highland box is an ACF 60' car with a sill reinforcement below the door. I've seen more of these 60' ones in this paint than I have in the 50' variety. I don't know if anyone makes an HO ACF 60' plug door box (Athearn and Atlas make PS, ICC, or Gunderson versions).
This car here is the 50' FMC 10' Youngstown sliding door box. Athearn made it and the plug door one you've posted up top a few years ago EACH 50' FMC Plug Door box. Looks like EACH leased them from ITEL and then the lease expired and now QC has them (IIRC, MSRC had some for a little while in the 1990s).

The car in your first link has a standard 10' sliding door. The QC cars have 12' plug doors. Athearn actually makes a model of both versions.
The QC cars in series QC 77100-77200 and QC 77201-77249 are former EACH 2501-2700 and EACH 2351-2500 series, built by FMC in 1979. Most of these have subsequently gone to QGRY (same numbers) and some have also been remarked RVPR.
Note that the QC reporting mark is actually owned by Canadian Pacific, having leased the original Quebec Central Railway since about the 1930s.
