Atlas HO 50' Postwar Single Door Box Car

At the end of World War II, railroads ordered large numbers of 50' AAR boxcars with a standard design that was first widely used in the late 1940s. This design was based on the original 1937 AAR design but was modified in the post-war era to include: improved dreadnaught end and diagonal panel roofs with standard or overhanging design. These 50' boxcars were a common sight on American railroads well into the 1970s and 1980s.

Features:

  • Details such as separately applied ladders and grab irons
  • Three different side sill styles - straight, tabbed and fishbelly
  • 8' & 9' Superior or Youngstown doors
  • Fully detailed underframe
  • Free rolling trucks with metal wheelsets
  • Accurate printing and prototypical paint schemes
