Westerfield had two kits for the 40ft cars:

4400 FOWLER 40' SS_BOX CAR, C&NW CMO M&StL

6400 FOWLER 40' CLONE SS_BOX, CRI&P R.I. D&RDW M&StL

Also the 36ft CPR/TH&B version, although I don't see a CN version of the 36 ft 
car. In S we do have the 36ft Fowlers from Ridgehill.

The Soo Line "Sawtooth" boxcar is also considered a Fowler design and was 
originally offered by Dennis Storzek in HO, later by Des Plaines and finally by 
Speedwitch.

The Gold Coast TT car seems to have a Murphy "XLa" roof, the same as the SHS 
USRA cars. It would be nice to have a plastic version of one of the later 
roofs, like the Hutchins or Climax, in S.
