    Reminds of the Athearn Genesis 60' Pullman-Standard Boxcars, but they are only double door cars I believe. They might be a good starting point for a scratchbuild project?

    So you want the long box car with French Doors, or are you after the "Tagger's Art"?

    DRGW - The closest I'm aware of is an old Ambroid wooden HO kit number H-6. Take a look here:

    http://www.trainweb.org/ambroidkits/trains/woodkits/pics/H/06.jpg

    There are likely some of these available on the web if you're willing to try your hand. It has the right roof and sides, not sure about the ends. You can build the kit without a roofwalk and cut-down ladders and a lowered brake wheel if you want. I have two of these running around my layout, one built as instructed in the kit for Burlington RBBQ as in the photo and one for BN with the more modern ladders, no roofwalk, etc.
