Darren: The box car is a Frank’s Roundhouse stock #66 which used the AMT 40’ box car mold.  Frank’s was located in Wilkes-Barre, PA.  They used plain white boxes like that and usually identified the contents using a dark gray rubber stamp.   

 

Frank’s also made hopper cars using the original Kusan K-series hopper car molds but all of their documented hopper road names were railroads that operated in Northeastern PA.  Could those Great Northern graphics be decals?  What does the end label for that car’s box say?

rattler,

When MTH first made "O" Gauge freight cars they did about 5 or 6 flat cars all painted yellow. They also did the same with tank cars painting them silver, the gondolas were printed green, the reefers were painted orange, the box cars were painted brown, hoppers were painted black and the cabooses were painted were red. I believe they came in purple boxes trimmed in yellow.
