HO scale, $24.98 each
Expected: 28-Sep-2007
Designed to move lightweight sheet metal parts economically, these big cars are a fixture of modern auto production. Introduced in the mid 1960s by Pullman-Standard, the cars feature large double-doors for easy access by forklifts. Parts are carried in special baskets to simplify loading or unloading. Assigned to pool service, they can be spotted moving in priority parts trains on many railroads. Based on the common four-door design originally built for Ford and Chrysler plants, the HO Scale models feature the correct ribbed ends and the unique side sills with visible interior posts as found on the prototypes.
This HO Scale Gold Line freight car comes fully assembled and includes a complete set of add-on wire grab irons; molded drill starter points on the body simplify installation. McHenry(R) near-scale working knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks with RP25 metal wheelsets round out each car. Car features revised ladders and separately applied door latch details.
