I am trying for some 36 ft wood un-rebuilt boxcars. Here is what I have so far:

 

It looks like this car here:



Some Cloverhouse transfers and I think I am close enough for my current skill set(and time constraints)

You could add the V shaped end sill:

I also started with a MDC car.

Nice! We (well, I, me) sure could use some more 36 footers. Most people don't realize that in the transition era there were as many 36 footers as there were 50' house cars...
Chris, homemade decals? And would you part with a set?

It was a while ago, but I think they are dry transfers from CDS.

Also don't forget the frame stiffener that runs from bolster to bolster.

Clover House has dry transfers for older cars, including NH.

Yes I did on this car, they are z scale 905's.

The ends are from an old Red Ball kit.
