B2 40' 12 panel box car, Glacier Green, Empire Builder lettering HO Scale
HO scale, with trucks and magnetic couplers. Six car numbers available. These models of Great Northern 12 panel, 40’ 6” inside length box cars by InterMountain are numbered in series 19500 to 20499. This lot, built in 1951, was 10-2 Inside Height and provided 3775 cubic feet of space. Inside height and cubic foot stencils are correct. When built this lot of cars were painted mineral red. When production of the 12 panel box cars ended in 1951, the 3,975 cars of this design were 19% of the box car roster. Most of them lasted to and beyond the BN merger. If you are modeling 1950-1970, you should have a significant number of these cars in your fleet. The models are correctly painted glacier green color with ‘Great Northern’ in Empire Builder script to the right of the door, a paint scheme applied from 1963 through 1967. This paint scheme is available in six different car numbers. Because of increases in weight carrying capacity of journals made in 1963, the capacity stencil should be 110,0
