Product Information:
As American railroads replaced equipment worn out during the war years, many turned to the newly designed 40' AAR 1948 Boxcar. Offering a slightly taller interior height and durable riveted steel construction, thousands of these colorful cars were used in revenue service well into the 1980s. Perfect for upgrading your steam- or diesel-era freight car fleet, these WalthersMainline HO models are nicely detailed with the correct 10-panel riveted sides, 6' Youngstown doors, 10'6" Interior height, diagonal panel roof, improved Dreadnaught 4-4 end with rectangular top rib, see-through Apex steel running board, Ajax hand brake wheel and Bettendorf trucks, along with correct 33" turned-metal wheelsets and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.
