Most hon3 freight car kits are the craftsman variety, and can run $15-$20 for a box of raw materials and instructions. The difference between scratchbuilding and building a craftsman kit is small. I could use another boxcar or two for my railroad, and I decided to build one out of materials I have laying around rather than spend money on a craftsman kit. The basic structure is illustration board, with a stripwood frame. I'll cover the outside with scribed cardboard, probably from a frozen pizza box, and add a few details from the scrap box.
