Chihuahua al Pacifico boxcar in N scale

[nkalanaga]

Has any company made a CH-P boxcar, preferably 1960s or earlier?

If not, does anyone make decals for such a car?

NdeM cars have been made. and Microscale makes decals for an FCP boxcar, but I haven't found anything for the CH-P.

A quick search shows that there hasn't been any made (found a similar request from a different board with a no answer as well)...sorry. Of course, if you have some photos and do some research about the prototype then send it to MT, they do occasionally do requests. I've been successful at getting several NWP boxcars done and more recently the Hercules Powder cars done by them.

Atlas is releasing the H16-44 in the CHP scheme:

You would think that the 1000s of modelers of this line would demand some rolling stock!

I don't know how facetious you were being but there really ought to be 1000s of guys modeling this line.  I've ridden it and what it has to offer is as fine as that of any US railroad.  I'd seriously consider dropping my other modeling interests if there was a serious amount of product available.  Don't have time for that much custom modeling these days, though.

JMaurer1:  I doubt that it would be popular enough for MT, if no one else has ever done one, or made decals for one.  The scheme is actually very simple, and the same color as the Atlas FM, but I don't fell like spelling the name out with alphabet decals...  Lazy, I know, but there are other cars I need more that the time could be spent on. 

On the other hand, if Atlas is making the loco, they might make a boxcar to go with it.  The cars I've found pictures of are AAR standard cars, so Intermountain would be the logical source, but given their (non)deliveries lately I won't hold my breath.
