Value Trains 40-076 — a fully assembled HO scale 40' PS-1 boxcar wearing the special Union Pacific DDA40X "Centennial" commemorative scheme honoring locomotive #6900, the first of UP's massive 6900-class double-diesel road power. The PS-1 was the workhorse Pullman-Standard boxcar of the 1950s and 60s, and seeing one decked out in the bright DDA40X-tribute graphics makes a great companion piece for a modern UP heritage train or display. Crisp lettering, factory-applied details, and Kadee-style metal knuckle couplers come ready to run right out of the box.

FAQ
What is the DDA40X "Centennial"?
The DDA40X was Union Pacific's gigantic double-engine diesel, built by EMD and first delivered as #6900 in 1969. Only 47 were built, and they're some of the most iconic locomotives in UP history. This boxcar honors that legacy with a matching tribute scheme.
Will it couple to my Atlas / Walthers / Athearn cars?
Yes — the metal knuckle couplers are Kadee-compatible and work with virtually any modern HO knuckle coupler.
Does it have metal wheels?
Yes. Metal wheels and roller-bearing trucks come standard, so it rolls smoothly and works with most track-detection systems out of the box.
Is this sold as a single car or in a set?
This listing is for one (1) single car. Value Trains commemorative releases are sold individually.
