The QC Kits for these cars are "interesting" to say the least.  I have a 
pair of them built, and on more on the shelf.  The scratch built doors
are not really that hard. (Especially compared to the work required to
simulate the weld seams!!!)

These kits will keep you busy for quite some time.  The cast metal door 
suggestions will reduce the time you spend on the door portion of
construction, but you still have to do quite a bit on the rest of the
kit.

When completed, they are impressive. Two or three of these coupled together
consume a large hunk of real estate on most layouts...
