HO 86' boxcars and 85' flats

Since my move to HO one thing I miss that is in N is quality thrall 86' boxcars the only kit is the old Athearn blue box kit which is slightly compressed in height. Would also like to see some Trainworx quality 85' flats in HO.

Walther's 86' box was a Pullman-Standard.

Athearn's old 86' box is closest to a Greenvillle, but is a little crude by modern standards and my have some detail inaccuracies.

I have several of the Walthers, the Athearn thrall and Greenville  is compressed the thrall rides high and if lowered is too short. The Athearn straight sill 85' flat is decent I have some of those but would like to see the fish belly version that Trainworx did in N. So even HO has voids that need filled. The Bluford 14 panel hoppers would be welcome as the only HO offering is the Bowser former Stewart models tooling which lacks some detail.
