Thrall All Door Boxcar
This Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley all door boxcar is well detailed and a welcome addition to my collection. As a Delaware and Hudson modeler the CACV boxcar fits right into my D&H operation. The separate door details, separate ladders, walkways and accurate paint scheme are miles above the old Life Like models that I painted and decaled years before. I added Kadee #158 couplers and some light weathering to bring this neat model alive. It is weighted well, has smooth rolling trucks and will serve your lumber industry perfectly! Highly recommend this car in this or any of the road names available from Walthers.
