The express boxes were classes EF & EG. Pictures are out there in trains and videos but you have to know what you're looking for. Many photos exist in latter years as power cars etc but I don't know if they changed trucks at that time. Some had doors changed.
I have long thought of scratching one and now that Archer makes rivets decals I may do it. Before they came out I had no way to make decent rivets. I would really like a few of them.

 Hi folks,
I would like to model a few branch line passenger trains that had an express box car (1920-50s).  From what i can tell, they were made in house by the n&w.  Has anyone made one from scratch, I doubt there was one made?
I guess my question is, what type of trucks.... Any photos come to mind.... Does anyone know a good area to look.  I don't know the class, and I did not find any photos that were helpful....
Does anyone know good references to look at?
Similar question for a mail Car.  I am not really picky as to which mail Car.  
Thanks for the help!
David Baker
