Model Railroading > Steam Era Hanging Wood Boxcar DoorsDate: 02/06/20 12:41 Steam Era Hanging Wood Boxcar Doors Author: funnelfan I was surprised to find out that no one makes hanging wooden doors for steam era boxcars as a separate part. They were very common and some cars lasted into the 1970's in revenue service that way. I need three sets to convert the Walthers ARA 40' Composite Boxcars into quasi SP B-50-15 boxcars. So I'm designing them using Fusion 360. Still learning this particular CAD program, but have made good progress. Still need to design the door lock mechanism, lower door guides and door stops.
