I've used a box car with the doors open as a static display model with crates being loaded at the Sunkist warehouse. However the model is never moved. <br /> I usually see the doors closed on box cars when in transit and only open when being loaded, unloaded, cleaned or sitting on a track waiting to be loaded. I paint the floors a grimmy black color but that's about all the detailing I do to the inside. <br /> There was a story some time ago in Trains Magazine where a scrap dealer bought two old box cars to be cut up. The doors were rusted shut , but when he cut the doors open, Inside he found two old new automobiles. Somehow the box cars were misrouted or bad ordered and forgotten. <br /> Sorry I don't recall what make and model they were. I'd like to say Duesenberg, but I'm not sure. Anybody else remember reading the story? It was about 8 or 9 years ago. <br /> I think that would make a nice mini scene.
