I enjoy the new Waffle-side boxcars despite the fact hat may others may not.  

There were some prototype 40' waffle-side boxcars.  Pretty rare, but they did exist...40' Waffle AW&P 3826040' Waffle SCL 12604 1984

40' Waffle GN 4288

The prototype's waffle pattern is different than Flyer's and of course, the GN car has a plug door, but the Flyer model itself came off much better than it's O27 counterpart:

And they're detailed enough to hold their own in a scale environment:

This one belongs to a friend of mine.  I've considered getting one or two for scalification, but another project I don't need right now.
