HO RND 36' Old Time Box Car SOO #14809 (RND-2354)

The HO RND 36' Old Time Box Car featuring SOO #14809 is a classic representation of early freight vehicles in the rail industry. Notably recognized as one of the best-known types of railroad boxcars, this model embodies the evolution of freight cars from simple flatcars to more advanced covered designs. The development of the boxcar was prompted by the need for protecting goods, especially in snowy conditions, as seen with the pioneering Mohawk & Hudson Railroad.

This model showcases a typical turn-of-the-century design with a distinctive truss rod underframe and is built for both realism and performance. It is equipped with archbar trucks and features 33” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. The boxcar is weighted for optimum performance and includes separately applied brake wheels for added detail.

Further enhancing its authenticity, the model comes with a highly-detailed, injection-molded body that is painted and printed for realistic decoration. It utilizes body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and is designed to navigate a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it a versatile addition to any HO scale model railroad.
