Boxcar, THB, 40 ft

A reincarnation of aTRS2006-bundled boxcar, and originally made for UTC, kuid 71964:100 062. One of the greatest incentives to model is to recapture a favorite scene or item from childhood. Such was the incentive to create this model. In my original childhood train set, the Mantua/Tyco HO scale 'Mammouth of the Rails', the supplied TH&B 3298 Box Car was my first Box Car. When the HO car was produced, circa 1960, the prototype #3298 was in service in 1947, according to the TH&B Historical Society's equipment roster. I have given it a slight orange tinge in trying to gage its prototypical color between actual photos of old rusted-out hulks and my bristling bright HO scale model. This genre of model had the benefit of all (Zemax) metal trucks and chasis combined with a molded plastic body giving it an optimal combination of operational stability and realistic riveted texture, superior to many of today's market offerings - <deneban (deneb@gis.net) April 2003, updated July 2011>
