Walthers' 2000 HO Reference Book is the first to feature the 56' Thrall  All-Door Box Car model.  The original 2000 release included eight roadnames (Boise Cascade, Canfor, Georgia-Pacific, Idaho Forest Industries, Masonite Corporation, St. Regis Paper, US Plywood, Weyerhaeuser) and Undecorated.  Single ready to run cars first sold for $15.98 in 2000; Two-packs featuring different roadnumbers were $29.98.  This provided the possibility of three roadnumbers per roadname, if one purchased the single and two-pack offerings.
 
The 2002 Walthers HO Reference Book included the original eight roadnames, plus added thirteen new roadnames (Armstrong, Ashley Drew & Northern, Brooks Scanlon, Minneapolis Northfield & Southern, Rayonier Canada, Potlatch, McMillan-Bloedel, Chandler, Green Bay & Western, Illinois Central Gulf, Seaboard Coast Line, D&H, and British Columbia Railway).  This 2002 listing shows the single car retail at $17.98 and $37.98 for two-packs.
 
Walthers offered a set of four (Spokane Moulding; Chandler; St. Regis; and McMillan-Bloedell) roadnames in a Spring 2006 release of the 56' Thall All-Door Box Car.  The cars were Gold Line releases with a single car retail of $21.98 and a Limited Run 2-Pack selling for $39.98.
 
The latest release of the Walthers Thrall All-Door is scheduled to delivery in late 2009.  Seven roadnames are in the group that retails for $27.98 each.  Single car releases only in this 2009 offering with three new paint schemes (Lignum -orange, British Columbia Forest Products, and Plum Creek Lumber); the other four roadnames (BC Rail, Canfor, Weyerhaeuser, and Potlatch) feature new roadnumber on previously issued paints.

Above is a 1969 ad that ran in "Modern Railroads" magazine from Thrall for the then-new All-Door Box Car.

1975 brought the first ready to run HO-scale example of the Thrall All-Door Box Car.  The model was offered by Life-Like.  You will find more information regarding this car, by clicking on the image above and visiting the Life-Like HO-Scale Trains Resource.
