Repainted Railbox boxcar
BY BUTCH EYLER

This car demonstrates bulging sides due to shifting loads, or warping metal due to weather conditions, hot or cold. I don't know what causes these but I've seen them on new cars.

I completely rebuilt the sides of the cars from styrene. I cut .005 Evergreen styrene to fit between the side supports. I rubbed, poked, scored my bulges into the styrene and then glued them using Tenaxx 7 on to existing Intermountain box car. On this car I also removed the door and scratchbuilt the "pink" [6 panel seperior] door with styrene.  Repainted the car, slightly weathering, and I was finished.
