Weaver Models has three Soo Line 50' Plug-Door Box car schemes to make.
These are less expensive than Lionel and MTH box cars, they would be made in the USA, and they could be made sooner than imported cars, provided that there is enough of an immediate demand from the Soo Line fanatics and admirers.
With the lower cost than a similar Lionel Modern 50' Boxcar, it would be possible for the 3-Railers who operate CP and SOO to make longer trains immediately. The Lionel Modern 50' Boxcar does not have a plug door.
The choice for a SOO LINE 50' Box Car is Weaver Models, not Lionel.
