Now I just need to create a few numbered sets of each and then can upload and share if anyone is interested.

Can't you use auto numbering at least of some of these?

I am interested. Are these all prototypical?

I think I have the wood reefers going along solidly.
I will be going back to tank cars, then look at Steel Reefers and my passenger cars project next week.
Here's group shot of my efforts so far.
Enjoy

West India Fruit and Steamship Co. car is particularly neat. I’ve had the FEC Key West extension in my head for the last few days.

Ugh...once I posted these recent ones, I realized they need some more tweaking. Back to workbench for those.

These look excellent. There are a lot of routes that these would look good on.

Thank you all for positive comments.
I'm working as fast as I can to get these ready. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a perfectionist and so keep looking to see where I can improve them all.
Case in point, These cars here have been revised - decals on right side...moved further toward end and, more importantly (at least to me) I've added the door seals. I knew something was missing and it was seriously bugging me, then I finally saw it! It's a rather subtle but important addition I think. So now I'll update the previous cars and probably call these all good.
Unfortunately, as we can't move the car numbers to proper places on the side, it doesn't look like many of these will be able to use auto-numbering. Sorry. I think I'll probably create 3-4 cars for each of the schemes with hard numbers (but that'll come later, as I have a number of projects finally on the workbench).

Anyway, here's the first updated cars:
