Description
Designed to move lightweight sheet metal parts economically, these big cars are a fixture of modern auto production. Introduced in the mid 1960s by Pullman-Standard, the cars feature large double-doors for easy access by forklifts. Parts are carried in special baskets to simplify loading or unloading. Assigned to pool service, they can be spotted moving in priority parts trains on many railroads. Based on the common four-door design originally built for Ford and Chrysler plants, the models feature:
- Correct ribbed ends
- Prototypical side sills with visible interior posts
- Etched-metal end platforms
- Factory installed grab irons
- Separately applied door hardware and ladders
- Ultra-Smooth rolling metal axles & 33" wheels
- Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers
