Hi. I have built a few scale model kits but I have never seen kits with train cars. Are there any? If yes, do you have companies to suggest?
I am interested only in N scale stuff.
I see you are from Quebec, but perhaps a better term would be kits for N scale rolling stock (or specific items like tank car, well car, boxcar and so on). Wagons sounds…not very North American. I searched for N scale kit rolling stock, first hit was I got was this company N Scale Kits, don’t know the difficulty level or even it the kits are really RTR.
As you would expect there used to be many levels of kits out there, from real old-school craftsman (they supply you with plans, some uncut wood strips and sheets, and a few metal parts full of flash; either that, or resin castings) to good kits (IMO) like the Proto 1000 - pretty clean parts that fit well together - tp shake the box kits (like the Athearn Blue Box flat cars - what, 10 pieces including trucks, very easy to put together).
The most notorious kit I believe, at least post 1970s, was the McKean (Front Range) HO scale Centerbeam car - poor, fiddly castings which were often warped and sometimes too short. I had one, and gave up on it mid-way, like many others…
IMO the golden age of kits was the late 1980s till the turn of the century, then RTR pretty much took over - there’s millions of words written about that on these forums, let alone the internet in general, so I’ll leave it there.
E-bay has a bunch.
There were very few N scale rolling stock kits. I’ve seen a few old ones but wasn’t impressed with the quality. Beasides I don’t think there would be much to an N scale boxcar kit as most details are moulded on.
The kits mentioned are all HO.
I have both N and HO layouts but haven’t done much in N lately as I like to build kits. Just finished Red Caboose boxcar kit which are very nice. Next up is a Branchline 80’ sleeper. Both are HO.

Micro-trains used to have some. You might try checking their website, micro-trains.com and look there under Products, then N scale, then Undecs. Last I checked they had a 40’ box car and a 40’ stock car as well as some tank cars and a twin bay hopper. And they are undecorated kits.
Or as rrebell suggested you can check ebay.

Ok thanks for your help guys. I thought it was more common but I think I will let the idea go and buy some already made trains cars.
Yes I am from Québec and here we call them wagons 
“Wagon” would be the French word for these cars. Used in Europe also. From the Dutch “wagen”.
In the the UK the equivalent to boxcar would be “goods van”. Open cars would be wagons.
There are some old Intermountain kits on EBAY . They are simple and can make nice models but are tedious to build because of small easy to break parts and most people would tire of trying to build them fairly quickly.
Going with RTR is a good decision. Both Intermountain decorated RTR and undecorated kits are available here https://intermountain-railway.com/n/n.htm
Most other brands worth having in N scale are RTR,
http://www.nscalekits.com/ in the UK offers nice kits for Intermodal and some other cars not available elsewhere
What does a train wagon look like?
Take your pick, Jim! [swg]

Looks like a list of hertiage stock. Where’s the list of current revenue service NZ goods stock?
Well, apparently, there’s no resemblance to a wagon train…

I just knew this was coming. I just didn’t know from whom.[:D]
That looks like a wagon train, not a train wagon! I also see some tongue wagons.
Theres always scratchbuilding your ‘wagons’. Same as assembling a kit except YOU make the kit first, then assemble it. And no tongue wagon involved.
