HO RND 36' Old Time Box Car WAG #4007 (RND-2357)

The HO RND 36' Old Time Box Car, WAG #4007, is a classic model that captures the essence of early railroad history. This boxcar represents the turn-of-the-century design, characterized by its distinctive truss rod underframe, which showcases the evolution of freight transport from simple flatcars to more advanced and functional designs. In the pioneer days of railroads, particularly in Upstate New York, innovations such as covered gondolas were introduced to adapt to the challenges of winter, leading to the development of more enclosed and efficient freight cars.

This model features archbar trucks and is equipped with 33” machined metal wheels that adhere to RP25 contours, ensuring smooth operation. The individually applied brake wheel adds detail to the car, while the weighted design enhances performance. Additionally, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide reliable coupling and decoupling during operation, allowing for seamless operation on model railroads. With its highly detailed, injection-molded body, the boxcar is painted and printed for a realistic appearance, making it a perfect addition to any HO scale layout. It is designed to navigate a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it compatible with a variety of track setups.
