Basically, this is a modified Bachmann box car, made to look like the EBT's "2nd generation" box cars. It's not 100% exact, but it's pretty darned close enough.

After:
The genesis of this project is covered in my builder's log, so I'll refer you to that for the nuts and bolts of the construction.
This last photo shows the car coupled next to my earlier scratchbuilt 2nd generation car. I painted and weathered this one to look like it had been "around the block" a few more times than the scratchbuilt version. It's actually weathered a bit more than I had planned on, but I won't argue too much.
Later,
