Pieter,
Someplace in one of my photo/junk boxes are some snapshots of some
outside braced boxcars but with wooden ends with fairly large angle
bracing--perhaps similar to the old Kinsman. Unfortunately the photos
were shot with a camera won at a carnival game, so it was terrible
camera and the images were likewise, with only a few actually making it
to print.
I had hoped that our friends at SHS would have eventually exchanged that
end as well as, a true Z shape for the bracing. However that type
construction might also have been ideal with the PRS approach of adding
'layers' of detail. I'm not really bitching 'cause with 3 or 4 of those
SS cars plus my ribbed sided boxcars, I can make an authentic length
branchline train that I used to see everyday.

For those still interested, here is the primary image I used in
detailing the MILW car - it is in an earlier lettering scheme than the
SHS car.

Attached is an end shot of my model.
