Check out this Rapido HO Scale Canadian National Evans X72A Boxcar #410600! Note that the picture might show a different road number. Between 1972 and 1973, Penn Central got the first of over 1065 boxcars in the X72/X72A fleet from US Railroad Manufacturing's (Evans) plant in Blue Island, Illinois. In 1976, these cars went to Conrail, keeping their PC numbering and getting CR reporting marks. Some were fully repainted, while others just had patch jobs. Later, CN bought a big part of the remaining fleet, and many were sold to leasing companies recently. The X72A is the only subclass of the X72, and there's no visible difference between them. They both have welded 12 - panel construction and 6 - panel Superior doors. The X72 is a common general - purpose boxcar in North America. Some are equipped with DF Belt Loaders for special equipment, and others have Dual Air Paks for shock control. The Rapido X72 Boxcar is great! It's made from original blueprints and drawings, with artworks from original designs and photos. It has separate door posts, latches, and coupler cut levers. The underframe is fully detailed, with separate piping and equipment. It also has detailed cushion draft gear and Rapido semi - scale knuckle couplers, plus fully - detailed 70 - ton trucks with 33” metal wheels.

Using your Rapido HO Scale Canadian National Evans X72A Boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track and enjoy watching it roll along. When handling the boxcar, be gentle to avoid any damage to the separate parts like the door posts, latches, and coupler cut levers. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can scratch the paint or damage the details. Store the boxcar in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any rusting or warping of the metal parts. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to reattach them, but make sure to do it carefully so as not to get glue on other areas of the boxcar.
