Express Box Car (Rebuilt Troop Sleeper) - Assembled Limited-Run 2-Pack -- Alaska Railroad - HO-Scale (2)

Build Head-end Traffic on your HO Passenger Trains
By 1946, the Army's special troop sleepers were no longer needed and were offered for sale. Affordably priced and originally based on standard box car designs, they required only minor modification for civilian use as 50' box cars. But since they were equipped for high-speed passenger service, they could easily be converted to other roles.
Many were remodeled with plated-over windows and vents, new side doors and a fresh coat of paint. In service, they handled baggage, mail and express shipments. Many led long lives, remaining in use until the late 1960s with a few running on work trains into the 1980s.
These ready to run cars feature new paint and lettering schemes, authentic detail, knuckle couplers and correct trucks with RP-25 metal wheels. Modeler-installed wire grab irons are included.
