The modern 100-ton, high-cube, 60’ boxcar is a common sight on today's railroads. It can carry all kinds of loads, from auto parts to forest products. These boxcars are an essential part of any modern freight train.
This ready-to-run model accurately represents a Gunderson-built boxcar. Many paint schemes similar to those on Trenton/Greenbrier-built cars are also available as good alternatives.
Specifications
This HO scale 60' Gunderson boxcar is a great addition to your model railroad. Since it's fully assembled, you can start using it right away. Just place it on your track and couple it with other cars using the McHenry scale knuckle couplers. When using it, make sure the track has a minimum radius of 18 inches to avoid derailment. As for maintenance, you can clean the metal wheels regularly with a soft cloth to keep them running smoothly. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent any damage to the paint and other parts. This boxcar is recommended for users aged 14 and above, so keep it out of reach of younger children to avoid any choking hazards from small parts.
