I use the blue box cars a lot, along with Roundhouse the reason being I run at a club that is open to the public and the cars receive a lot of use and handling, I also use a portable layout that we take to the GATS shows and with all of that handling these cars can take it , where my Accurail and other fine scale cars cant hol;d up to the abuse they receive in transit. Besides we use the 3 foot rule for detailing, who can see the fine detail and the underside of the car at 3-5 feet away and going a scale 40 miles a hour around the layout.I do make some modifications such as Kadee couplers and I tune the journals with the deburring tool and add Intermountain metal wheel sets ,also I weight to NMRA specs. and then we have trouble free operation and can injoy our Hobby a lot more, since we dont have to worry about the fine detail coming off or getting broken, What a great Hobby we have Enjoy---Ted
