HO RND 36' Old Time Box Car MSTL #26250 (RND-2352)

The HO RND 36' Old Time Box Car is a quintessential representation of the turn-of-the-century railroad design, characterized by its traditional construction and distinctive truss rod underframe. This model reflects the historical development of boxcars, which evolved from simple flatcars to fully enclosed designs to protect freight from the elements, a feature that was especially important in snowy regions of the United States.

With details that enhance its realism, this boxcar features archbar trucks and is equipped with 33” machined metal wheels that are RP25 contour compatible, ensuring smooth operation on model railroads. The model is designed for excellent performance, being weighted optimally, and includes a separately applied brake wheel for added authenticity. Body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers facilitate seamless coupling with other rolling stock, while the highly-detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration. Designed to navigate minimum radius tracks of 18 inches, this boxcar suits a variety of layouts and is perfect for both collectors and model railroaders alike.
