One of the realities of the current manufacturing thinking in the world of model trains, is that undecorated kits don't seem to be worth the effort for the big guys to bother with anymore.
Which is a real frustration for those of us who actually like to build models, as opposed to opening a box and plonking it down on the tracks.
One of the fun things to do is recreate freight cars that have subtle variations from the more common cars, which is where "Mini-kits" come in and other after market parts.
The trial now is finding base kits which one can modify to use for these "mini-kit" projects.
Which is where these new items come in
We are now offering 4 body shells from which one can build those " mini-kits
The first 4 body shells offered are 40' long.
Part #B-10'0 D 10 Panel, 10'0" Boxcar with Diagonal Panel roof
Part #B-10'0 S 10 Panel, 10'0" Boxcar with square panel roof
Part #B-10'6 D 10 Panel, 10'6" Boxcar with diagonal panel roof
Part #B-10'6 S 10 Panel, 10'6" Boxcar with square panel roof
Each kit comes with doors and crossbearers and crossties, but no ends,.
Each retails for $25.00 USD.
Due to the vagaries of the Paypal web system, we can't link the accurate postal rates for all possible purchase situations, so an additional invoice for postage may come to you afterwards.
If these are successful other boxcar options may become available

Excellent Idea, effectively, core kits. Thanks Erich Brock
Sounds like a really neat concept!
Please don't forget the O Scale community.
We don't even have a 10' 6" inch boxcar base to start from. Only the 10' 0" IM cars.
Please confirm - 40 foot length or 50 foot length?
My bad
All cars right now are 40'
