Description
Great Northern 40-Foot Boxcar in Late IDNE Chinese Red, HO scale. This faithful model recreates GN’s mid-20th-century 40-foot boxcars, built in 1953 and 1955, with 12-panel sides, straight sills, six-foot Youngstown doors, and diagonal panel roofs. It captures the late-improved dreadnaught end and welded underframes for authentic detailing, making it a realistic addition to any GN-era freight roster.
Painted in the Late IDNE Chinese Red scheme, the car carries accurate paint and lettering and rolls on free-rolling ASF Ride-Control trucks with metal wheelsets. Rapido semi-scale couplers enhance coupling realism, and multiple road numbers per scheme provide GN-era variety while maintaining a historically grounded appearance.
