This is a basic 40 ft boxcar that was replicated from photos I found online. I found an old boxcar frame from my RIP box and built the carbody around the designed frame. I also added a 7 gram steel weight inside the car to ensure it doesn't derail too easily. I added a set of Bettendorf trucks with a washer to clear the ends, but you may want to remove some material from the bottom of the end pieces. I used Overture PLA filament for the frame and Polylite PLA for the carbody. I found for best results use 205C for the extruder temp and 60C for the bed temp. There are 4 triangular wedges that can be glued to either side of the bolster holes if you desire
