Nice work, Kev!  I like:-)  I have an idea for the ends of your boxcar which I
plan to employ whenever I get around to it (far too many irons in the fire!).  Try
using this element to achieve the corrugated effect on the ends:

I have used it on an 8 wide box car and liked it a lot (no pics though; only the
Summit attendees have seen it)  That would even free up 4 of the brown walls for

I also have built a 14 wide Hiawatha passenger car which I have yet to take pics
of-- took me about 2 years to accumulate the necessary bricks for *that* one:-p

Well, 14 wide is the same width as G scale, so I'd call that pretty standard,
especially if you are using G scale trucks....

it'll more likely give Mister Neal a run for his money (or maybe just a
laugh) than anything else.

Bring it on! ;^)
