The kit is actually quite accurate, I would say
90% or
so. Why you may ask am I reviewing a non-Chessie
car. Well
Railbox boxcars are actually Chessie cars, if you paint them
right.
Below is a pic of a real Chessie Railbox boxcar. The
C&O bought
some of these cars and just painted over the RBOX letters and
put C&O
on them. Both the C&O and B&O bought Railgon
gondolas and
gave them the same treatment.
There really isn't much to do to these cars to
make them
accurate. I don't recommend doing any work on the
body. All
you need to do to make it accurate is paint over the RBOX
letters and add
C&O ones. Check out my C&O Railbox article on the
tips page
for more info.
