N Scale Boxcar Question
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, May 15, 2005 12:34 PM
I'm looking for boxcars that either have open doors or doors that can be opened. Does anyone know where I can find boxcars like these in N scale?

Virtually all of the Micro Trains non-plugdoor boxcars have doors that open and close.

I think the newer Atlas cars also have operating doors. I know I just bought some of their single sheathed wood boxcars and the doors operate.
