Boxcar Identification for Build

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I was wondering if I could get some help identifying these boxcars so I can look up some specs for a possible kitbash. No one seems to have one of these in N scale, but they are quite common in paper service to the St. Pete Times!

All I know is that this one is a 52’6" 5307 cu. ft. Double Door Boxcar, and I can’t seem to find the builder!

I know next to nothing about these next ones, other than it is NOT excess height, but appears to be 60’ in length.

Any information on these cars is much appreciated!

Christian,

This site shows N-scale 50ft rib side plug door boxcars and who has them. I don’t believe it says who made the prototype though:
