Nice!  Tell us about the other car marked for ADN still. 

Here is a cut of boxcars and a WM boxcar being unloaded on the Free State Junction Railway.

not exactly a "boxcar"....

Not sure it's real but extraordinary modeling and photography.  Look closely at the foreground scenery and then check it out here (scroll down to Kyle 5200).  Certainly puts my meager effort to shame.  I was just looking for something with ADN boxcars to imitate.

You know,  I think those are HO models.  The reason I asked about that ADN car is that I need some of that type of boxcar as they aren't available in O scale yet (?).    Great photography on that link you shared!!

Take care

Weaver actually produced this car in this paint scheme a number of years ago in O gauge.

The Ex-ADN Car looks like a Plate C car, a good match would be the Atlas Trainman model.  Weaver produced a similar Plate B car.

I was referring to the ADN car circled in red.  Not available (yet) in 1/48

Still an outstanding weathering job on HO models

Probably a same dimension 50' box car from a different freight car builder at the time, different lower sill, unfortunately MTH,Lionel, Atlas etc will produce tooling for one specific mfg prototype and letter it for all paint schemes they believe their customers want/will buy. In the much larger HO market variations on a specific prototype ie 50' plug door are available from different mfgs and many modelers will kit bash for a specific model. just saying!

If you pony up the $100,000.00 so for new tooling they would probably go for it!

My favorites, in situ...

Here are several boxcar photos from my layout.
