Another boxcab was in the mail this morning. It was a track cleaning vehicle lettered for MOW and most of the details are missing but it is my first one with doors in the ends representing the second series. It was my intention to swap the shell with another boxcab of the first series to get the roof details. Problem is that the boxcab to swap with is lost since some weeks between Florida and Frankfurt.
An alternative might be to kit bash this shell into the Jay Street 400. Nor coolers are required but there are platforms with handrails at the ends, the side doors must be closed and one window becomes the outlet of a cooler. The overall arrangement of side windows and doors will be still wrong.
This is what I got:

And this would be a possible use of the shell:

ps. How are the boxcabs doing in Canada this days?
