Bev-Bel Double Door Boxcar

Double Door Boxcar...
Bev-Bel makes an excellent double door 50foot
boxcar.
It is not perfect for the Chessie System, but it is real
close. The
paint job on this kit is outstanding. The lettering is
great.
The colors are right on. It is one of the very few kits that
has
the Chessie bowling ball safety logo on it. This is a very
nice touch.
This is actually an Athearn kit that is custom decorated by
Bev-Bel.
I have regular Athearn double door boxcars covered in another kit
review.
I got my Bev-Bel boxcar for $10 at a train show. That is a
little
more then I like to spend, but its worth it.

You won't need to do any cutting or sanding on this kit.
Just assemble
it and weather it. In no time you will have a very sharp
double door
boxcar on your line. The only real problem I know of with
this kit
is that the consolidated stencil decal is yellow writing on a
blue background,
it should be two black squares with white writing. You can
easily
correct this by putting a correct decal over it. You can
easily see
the bowling ball safety logo just to the right of the B&O
letters.
