Value Trains 40-303 — a fully assembled HO scale 40' PS-1 boxcar decorated in Western Pacific's striking orange and silver "Feather" scheme, road number 56058. The PS-1 was the workhorse Pullman-Standard boxcar of the 1950s and 60s, and WP's iconic feather livery — a nod to the famous Feather River Route — makes this car a real eye-catcher on any layout. Crisp graphics, factory-applied details, and Kadee-style metal knuckle couplers come ready to run right out of the box.

FAQ
What is the Western Pacific "Feather" scheme?
Western Pacific was famous for its "Feather River Route" through California's Feather River Canyon, and adopted a stylized feather as its herald. The orange-and-silver feather livery is one of the most recognizable freight schemes of the era.
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 releases are sold individually.
