Description
Based on a prototype constructed by the Southern Iron and Equipment Company (SIECO) beginning in the 1960s, these purpose-built cars served well into the 2000s hauling pulpwood between the pulp landings in the woods and the paper mills. The open cars featured a V-sloped deck and tall bulkheads at each end of the car to keep the load in place. This is a one-time run of these roadnumbers. The model features:
- Separately applied ladders
- Factory-installed grab irons
- Heavy die-cast metal frame
- Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
- Correct 36'' RP-25 turned-metal wheelsets
This car is a perfect complement to the Cornerstone 933-3902 Superior Paper Mill, 933-3058 Mountain Lumber Company Sawmill or other timber related industries on your layout.
Looking for a load? This model accepts the Chooch 7259 Pulpwood load (sold separately).

Good ol...
Growing up as a kid in the 70's in South Georgia with a local lumber mill called Del-Cook. The SOUTHERN RWY ran through the middle of town. These same SOUTHERN bulkheads and the SOUTHERN box car's are what i remember seeing everyday on my to and from school. The good ol days. i love these car's. plan on buying more.
