On the prototype, wouldn't it be hard to install a grain door across
a double sliding door car?
I am surprised that there aren't more suggestions for a CB&Q
prototype and HO scale model freight car that would capture the feel
of a Chinese red grain loading boxcar from the 1960s. I figure the
Burlington had to be a big grain hauler in that era.
