I also just finished building some Tichy USRA boxcars I built from a Bulk 6 pack I picked up years ago. I still have another 8 cars to build which I ordered 7-8 Murphy ends and AB Brakes for so that they look closer to CPR USRA clones. So when those bits arrive I'll get started on them. That said, I was very pleased to get the initial six out of the way and built them as is with the 5-5-5 ends and k-brakes. I still plan to paint and number them as CPR boxcars. I filmed a celebratory roll-by video of the undecorated boxcars before I remove them from the layout to get them primed, painted and put the decals on.
