Features: * 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. *

Features: * Faced with increasing numbers of parts and expensive shipping systems, auto makers approached freight car builders in the early 1960s about creating a universal box car for heavy parts. The basic design evolved into a smooth-side, interior post car, where load restraints could be mounted. * Heavier castings such as brake drums, engine blocks, transmissions and so on are carried in special baskets, designed for easy unloading/loading with forklifts. The large single door provides easy access to the interior. * These cars can still be seen moving in priority trains to and from America's auto assembly plants. * This HO Scale Gold Line freight car comes fully assem

Features: * National Steel Car 53' Single-Unit Well Cars are among the largest platforms on the rails. Railroads use singe-unit cars when there arent enough containers to fill a three-unit, drawbar-connected well car. In some markets, a smaller car is a better choice for shippers, so TTX now operates stand-alone cars derived from the original three-unit cars. * Walthers HO Scale 53' Stand-Alone Well Car is based on this latest design. Fully assembled and ready for service, its diecast body provides plenty of weight for good performance. Factory-applied plastic details and working knuckle couplers at each end complete these realistic replicas.
