Description
This ready-to-run N Scale Pullman-Standard 86' Auto Parts Double-Door Boxcar from Bluford Shops are based on cars that first appeared in the mid-60s and are still in use today. Unlike general service freight cars, auto parts boxes are assigned to pools based on a mileage formula and often spend most of their time off home rails. In other words, foreign road cars usually out-number home road cars in a given parts train to the point that if you missed the locomotives passing, you would have a hard time telling whose train it was!
Features:
- an injection molded plastic body
- etched metal details
- operating knuckle couplers
- accurately appearing trucks
- cushion draft gear enclosures
Note: Photo might not show actual road number. Please see details for the road number.

First Bluford Shops...
I was interested by this oversized box car as an addition to my collection. First Bluford Shops product I've owned. Initially had problems with the bolster pins allowing the trucks to drop off. I reattached securely and haven't had a problem since. Likely caused by vibration in shipping. Midwest shipped quickly as always.

Great looking...
This car is just awe inspiring. It's a large presence on my layout and having three of them together is impressive. Only issue is that my 11" radius curves cause the wheel sets to rub and the body mount couplers will derail any car leading or following. Just means I'll have to make a bigger layout.
