Get the Sn3 TLS shops kit of CC #026552 MOW car. The window arrangement is the same (probably because the positions of the internal construction beams limited window position options on the prototype). You just need to scratch build the new door in the side door opening and a smoke stack.
I think we can cut a couple of SN3 boxcars but it won't be right away. I need to re-visit the project and I am now focused on the 27 ft. And 26 ft. House car laser cutting tests.
I had pans for these cars in a B&L magazine several years ago and my drawing of CC #026552 was printed in the NG&SL Gazette last year.

Bob,
Absolutely beautiful outfit cars!
Now that I know these cars were former Colorado Central 24 footers, I went to The Leadville Shops website to order a couple of S scale kits as a basis for my own work cars.
Alas, that kit is sold out.
Any chance that you and Bill could do a run of the 24 footers as wood parts in a zip lock bag as well?
If that's not possible do you have any drawings for these cars? I'd try to build them in styrene of there are no more laser kits in the future.
