2226660 - SOUTHERN END DOOR BOXCAR #42000

Equipped for hauling automobiles or other large loads, end door boxcars offered a railroad's customers more versatility in loading or unloading. Cars of this design were relatively common from the 1930s to the 1960s when larger cars and multi-level auto-racks came onto the scene. Cars only had doors at one end and often had to be turned for loading or unloading - an extra challenge for model railroad operations.   Die-cast trucks and operating couplers with hidden tabs Opening side and end doors Separately applied detail parts   PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Rail Line: Southern Road Number: 42000 Gauge: O Gauge  Min Curve: O31 Dimensions: Length: 14"
