Description

One car from an 11 car 'treasure chest' find on eBay.

This is the Accurail #4403 Northern Pacific 40' Wood Boxcar W/ Steel Doors and Ends. This is likely the oldest car in the lot as it has a noticeably different style box. Like the previous cars, it has been upgraded with better weight and metal wheels but is still as stock as can be. The brake wheel is detached in this photo but is in the box, nothing a little glue can't resolve. There is also noticeably no distinct era of operation on the car, so for all I know it could be set in the 1920s OR the 1950s!

UPDATE 9/22/23: This model has been sold and is no longer part of my collection.
