ConCor 50' grain-door boxcars.  I could find no information regarding a real Conrail prototype for these cars, but they make good stand-ins ("foobies").  On the left is an unmodified car with Rapido couplers.  On the right one is weathered with acylic washes, Microscale ACI label, MicroTrains trucks and couplers, and low-profile wheelsets.

Weathered Atlas Conrail PS2 covered hopper.  I picked this up as-is at House of Trains in Omaha, NE for $5!  Usually I don't buy equipment other people have weathered, but this one was done very well and also had MicroTrains couplers.  For $5 I figured it was worth it, and it was.

Atlas PL&E PS2 covered hopper.  Added COTS, ACI, and re-stenciled.  Weathered with acrylic washes and fine sandpaper.

Micro Trains PC class X78 boxcar.  Microscale ACI label and FVM low-profile metal wheelsets.  Weathered with acrylic washes.

Athearn Raritan River RR boxcar #476 weathered with acrylic washes.  These cars were conveyed to CR in 1980.
