Product Information:
HO GN 40' Wood-sided Boxcar: GN - Vermillion w/ Empire Builder Lettering: 6-Pack #2
While based on the 1937 AAR 40’ boxcar design, Great Northern’s cars had distinctive sides, ends, and underframes, all accurately captured in Rapido’s new model. Built in several batches by ACF and Pullman-Standard, they were equipped with handbrake gear from multiple suppliers. The GN’s 40’ double sheathed boxcars lasted long enough to carry multiple paints schemes, including the later Vermillion red scheme. Many remained with their original sheathing well into the 1970s.
The HO scale GN 40' Double-Sheathed Boxcar features:
- Original car drawings used for design
- Highly detailed underframe with brake piping and more
- Detailed cut overs and and side ladders
- Separate roofwalk and grab irons
- Textured wood-paneled body
- Semi-scale metal knuckle couplers
- 50-ton AAR trucks with profiled metal wheels
- Minimum suggested radius: 18”
