Add classic mid-century freight to your HO layout with the WalthersMainline 40' Steel Boxcar in Pennsylvania's paint and lettering, road number 105804. Based on prototypes rebuilt in the 1940s with Murphy 5-5-5 corrugated steel ends and flat steel roofs, these workhorse cars hauled general freight from the postwar era through the 1960s, with some survivors lasting into MOW service in the 1980s. The ready-to-run model features sharp paint, separately applied details, metal knuckle couplers, and metal wheelsets straight out of the box.
