I also have a few B&O wagon top boxcars from Weaver and Atlas (Weaver).  These are nicely built cars with descent detail. 

Atlas with the "Post War 13 Great States" scheme from 1946 to 1955.  Has the flat-panel door.

Weaver also with the "Post War 13 Great States", but the herald is a bit smaller than the Atlas. It is also more red.  Has the lighter post-war Youngstown door.

Weaver with the "Early Kuhler" scheme from 1937 to 1940.  This scheme may have been gone by my layout's late 40's era.  I just list it as waiting rebuild.  Has the flat-panel door.

Atlas with the B&O solid green Express boxcar scheme used until 1947 (heralds removed starting in 1942).  Camera made this lighter than it is, actual color seems the more correct Pullman green.  Has the flat-panel door.

Weaver with the solid green scheme, but definitely darker than the Atlas.   Has the flat-panel door.

Weaver with the B&O solid blue Express boxcar used from 1947 to 1953, when they started to get the blue with the gray window stripe.  Most Express cars stayed Pullman green.  Has the flat-panel door.
