Micro Trains introduced a model of the FMC Plate B Railbox in 1981. These turned out to be accurate for only two years; in 1983, TTX sold all the Plate B Railboxes to member railroads, which first patched them with new reporting marks but left the Railbox paint and lettering in place, but eventually repainted many.
This site discusses the railroads that purchased the Plate B cars, as well as the prototypes for many other N scale boxcars.
According to the site,
SOUTHERN PACIFIC- Espee acquired ACF, Berwick and FMC plate B boxcars from Railbox in 1983.
The FMC cars were in Railbox series 18806-19219. Below is my photo of Micro Trains SP 19009:
This would represent a car that had been running for some years after 1983, possibly in the 1990s. Its number is correct for the FMC cars that went to SP. According to the site,
CSX . . . inherited FMC plate B cars from Seaboard System and Chesapeake & Ohio. The Seaboard System cars were numbered 141523-141766; while the C&O cars were numbered 503260-503308.
CSX then renumbered the Seaboard Syatem cars into CSXT 141523-141766. The link doesn't mention the ex C&O cars, or other CSXT series.
This site says CSXT 141948 is an ex-C&O car. Below is my photo of Micro Trains CSXT 141948:
The patching and re-renumbering would have taken place about 1988 or later. The amount of weathering on this model would make it later than the ex-SP car above, and in fact, this model has yellow conspicuity stripes on the lower side that were mandated in 2010.
These models can be found on eBay and elsewhere in the $25-$30 range, which makes them a bargain for models of this accuracy.
