I wasn't entirely happy with my original single-sheath box design like on CV 40122. It was just too tall. However getting the wood panel effect on a 7-stud tall wall was quite a bit of a challenge and has stumped me for over a year. Inspiration hit me last night, and here's what I've come up with. This particular design is for a Great Northern 31000 series Pratt-Truss boxcar, which was challenging because of the black ends, but would be easily adapted to CV40122 and Rutland 7999 (ex-CN.) One big benefit is this design has a fraction of the internal structure of my previous designs which ended up weighing close to 1.3 lb.
