Nice work on that boxcar, Matt. 
Another nice car from about the same era, and in the same price range, is a 60' boxcar from Con-Cor. If I recall correctly, it was available with a single sliding door and also with double plug doors. Both were a pretty close match for a couple of blocks of such cars operated by Canadian Pacific, under both CP and CPAA reporting marks.
My models (don't recall which versions they were) are long gone, but here are a couple of prototype photos. C-D-S offered lettering for both types: Set #498 does the double door car as a CPAA car, with only small reporting marks and dimensional data or as a CPR car, with very large "script" lettering, while Set #499 offers the same options for the single-door car.

double plug door version
There are quite a few photos to be found HERE
The original CPAA numbers for the double plug door versions were 205,000-205,025, while the single sliding door ones were 205,500-205,626
