Train Miniature cars are among my favourites. 
I would have replied sooner but I had a lot of trouble trying to get these pictures into the Gallery. As you can see, the quality has suffered, too.
A couple of NYC cars - the near one is an A.R.A.type while the far one has been converted from a plugdoor car

Pennsy X-29:

This Canada Southern car was rebuilt with "reverse" dreadnaught ends, and new doors and sidesills:
[album]310[/album]
A Pennsy X-28 automobile boxcar:
[album]313[/album]
The next 4 cars were all built using the TM plugdoor boxcar as a starting point:

[album]300[/album]
[album]306[/album]
A TM 55 ton hopper lettered for my own road:
[album]302[/album]
And a plugdoor reefer:
[album]301[/album]
And finally, this TH&B USRA doublesheathed boxcar - it was extensively re-built, with new doors, ends sidesills, and underframe, plus a new roofwalk and all metal grab irons and sill steps:
