GBW 686 40-FOOT BOX CAR FROM INTERMOUNTAIN'S KIT
By Bob Rivard Prototype photo by Fra nk Jorda n
Green Bay and Western's 68640foot box car has an unusual 6panel Superior 8-foot door. I modeled the door from a scrap piece of Evergreen Scale Models .015-inch styrene sheet with HO scale 1 x 4s for both the frame and the ribs. I painted the car with a mixture of 70 percent Reefer Yellow and 30 percent Model Flex Reefer White.
