HO UP 40' B-50-42 Boxcar UP Delivery (RPI154005A)

The HO UP 40' B-50-42 Boxcar captures the essence of postwar Union Pacific freight cars known for their unique 'Alternating Center Rivet' (ACR) construction. This level of detail is evident in the design that mimics original blueprints, featuring lightweight side sheeting supported by additional vertical rivets. Historically accurate, these boxcars exemplify the variations in design and lettering practices that occurred right after World War II.

Manufactured by Rapido Trains, this model is notable for its superior craftsmanship with all-new tooling developed under the guidance of UP freight car experts. Each boxcar showcases distinctive characteristics, including options for early or late improved dreadnaught ends, various panel roof styles, and authentic detailing on the underbody.

The model includes features such as semi-scale couplers, free-rolling turned metal wheels, and various road numbers within the same paint scheme to enhance realism. This boxcar is not only a fantastic addition to any HO scale model collection but also serves as a fascinating piece for historians and hobbyists alike.
