Reply to "Who has the best scale boxcar?"

As much as I like the State of Maine Products B&A boxcars I thought the thread was posing a question. Who has the best scale boxcar?
is this inquiry about which manufacturer you like?
I have both O scale two rail and three rail boxcars.

to answer the question directly, in scale, two rail, 40 ft, I prefer the Intermountain brand. IMHO, their boxcars are scale size for their type, lots of details, impeccably painted and decorated with crisp graphics. They are a bit light in weight, I add weight. The Derlin wheels are free rolling, fragility of details doesn’t annoy me. As they are kits, they are not complicated to build.
I also like Everything about most 40 and 50 ft ft Atlas boxcars in scale two rail. Just pricey!

hey Hiram O! Hands down you win with the group photo of State of Maine Products rolling stock! Lol. Perhaps that photo should go in the Maine Train thread that Melgar started! Great.
