I second Doctorwayne. Scratchbuilding the boxcar shell would be far easier than fighting with a Roundhouse shell. Also, the Roundhouse boxcab are getting rarer and pricey nowadays.
For the other one, I think using a Bachmann GE-44 ton as a starting point would be good enough. You'll have to lengthen the long hoods, but that's quite straight forward.
You really selected iconic Montreal-area locomotives! One of the boxcab is exhibited at Deux-Montagnes station. You could easily measure it to get it right.
