Description
HO-scale 5,241-cubic-foot Berlin Mills boxcar in Boston & Maine (B&M) as-delivered livery, designed to add an authentic late-IPD era boxcar to HO-model railroad layouts. This model reproduces the distinctive Berlin Mills car, known for its flat roof and large end ribs, and reflects the B&M fleet that carried pulp and paper products nationwide in a variety of schemesâ€â€from the original blue body with black doors to later patch-out looks as ownership changed.
Prototype accuracy is evident in the scale, three door styles, and full underbody detail with separate wire grab irons. The car rolls on free-rolling trucks with turned metal wheels and uses Rapido semi-scale metal couplers for reliable operation. It features authentic paint and decoration, and multiple road numbers are available for each scheme, making it easy to build a diverse Berlin Mills roster on an HO layout.
