Reply to "Best Kept Secret of New Lionel Catalog"

In the last catalog, Lionel mentioned in the blurb for the single door round roofs that the double door versions would come soon, too.  I'm pretty sure that's when 3rd Rail deep-sixed their plans for their versions.  

 

As for other boxcars, we still don't have a good 6 panel single sheathed ARA boxcar.  The Weaver tooling is ancient and from what I can gather, it doesn't follow a prototype. There's also the 1937 AAR Modified Boxcar.  Protocraft is doing these in 2 rail brass:

 A 3 rail model up to the level of Lionel's PS-1 would be welcome.
