Hornby has announced a new run of 50' plug door boxcars with the correct 7 panels per side (Yeah!) As I'm not aware of any other manufacturer who makes one!

Only problem I see is that it has cast on details. (Bummer)

Also please don't tell me that is White lettering on a green boxcar!
(double bummer)
