Re: Locomotive Workshop Boxcar Restoration

One nit: I suspect the tack boards on the door should be swapped.

I recently acquired a boxcar built from a Locomotive Workshop kit from Ed Loizeaux.? Ed isn't sure who originally assembled the car.? I upgraded it with parts from PRS,? added some detail, repainted it, lettered it with Tichy decals and weathered it with
pastels and acrylic 'rust'.? The third photo shows the car between an SHS boxcar (with Creco doors) and an AM boxcar (with a little added detail).? ?
I see on the NASG website there is a photo of an unassembled kit in the PRODUCT GALLERY which helps put in perspective how difficult these might have been to assemble, especially if there was any warpage in the 'flat' parts.? Ed suggested they were so hard
to assemble that no one ever built two!? Anyway, I'm happy to have a piece of S history refurbished and in operation on the BC&G.?
Can anyone shed any light on exactly what years these Locomotive Workshop kits were in production?? Are any unassembled kits known to exist?
