The stock car would be easy:
step 1. trash the original trucks as they do not match any gauge of track and The wheels have
super large flanges.
step 2. modify the bolsters as they are too tall.
step 3. a good layer of dull coat to take away the plastic shine and a good weathering job.
step 4. Replace the door/ramp with a more prototypical looking door.
Now the Box car will be more of a challenge as it is about the right width and height as some older S gauge stuff but a bit short length wise. It too may be better off as an On30 conversion,I guess we will soon see
