Reply to "Spicing Up our Boxcar Fleets, Or What's Out There?"

Many boxcar types from the 30s and earlier lasted into the 50s.  Here are some photos of trains from that era with many different sizes of boxcars in tow:

I'm trying to recreate that type of freight on my layout.  I have several pre WWII style cars, including the MTH car Patrick has, but most are from Atlas O.  Here are some of my pre WWII Atlas O cars.
