Reply To: 1979 C&EI 40′ boxcar build

[Charles Duckworth]

Here’s another C&EI car I’d like to tackle if I can determine what model company made a 40′ boxcar with these ends.

Here’s an update to this car. Branchline makes the ends and a riveted carbody (you will have to remove the rivets and scribe panel lines). The C&EI used a roof that was unique to ACF but I found out from Ed Hawkins this roof is not available today but Yarmouth Model Works will be issuing one shortly. Ed saw test shots of the roof at the RPM meet last August.
