Hard to tell what kind of flat car this started as, it almost looks like the bed from a coil car.

Actually they’re older V-deck pulpwood flatcars with the bulkheads cut off.

Use one of the Walthers cars.

Are my eyes tricking me or does it still sport the V-deck, rather than have it plated over for flatness?

A different version, but a great shot for modeling. You guys nailed it !
