I have not yet ordered one of those ten Dollar NMRA box cars but still want to 
if some of the PRS cars remain.  IF the car is a 10' 6" IH, it would be 
interesting to try the following:

1. Cut off the sides entirely, leaving the roof and ends intact.

2. Transform the car into a WWII  War Emergency box car.  Several important 
roads had these cars. I cannot recall all, but the following come to mind: NKP, 
C&NW, NP,  after that memory fails.

Just thinking about such a project now, it doesn't seem that challenging or 
improbable.  Of course, it's just come to mind and may harbor pitfalls I know 
not of.  IF the car is a PRS car with a 10' 0" IH, well, one road--I cannot 
recall which--had War Emergency cars of that IH as well. 

Someone on this list may know which roads had these cars.  Anyway, sounds like 
an interesting project.  Any thoughts.

Tom
