Pre-Order FAQ
Most manufacturers give an ETA on when they expect to release the pre-order which can be seen near the "add to cart" button on the product page. They also give an order due date (found in the product description) which is indicative of when the product is expected to go into production.
There is a 5% NON-refundable deposit for preorders, this amount will be deducted from the price of the product when it arrives. You will see how much downpayment is required after adding the item to your cart. We do not store your payment information and it is not charged by us when the product arrives.
For any pre-order submitted after the due date, we will try our best to fulfill your pre-order, but are at the mercy of the manufacturer and if they produce more than were preordered by their dealers. If we cannot fulfill your pre-order we will credit the 5% deposit to you.
When the pre-ordered product(s) are available to ship, you will receive an email requesting the remaining 95% payment that will take you to your cart. It is at this point you are asked for shipping address and method OR in-store pickup.. We will never charge your payment method without you checking out. At this time you are also able to add other in-stock items if you wish.
Please note that Estimated Arrival Dates can change at any point. Midwest Model Railroad is not responsible for manufacturers delaying production. Visit midwestmodelrr.com/pre-orders/ for more information.

Add an important piece of American railroad history to your HO Scale layout with WalthersProto this ACF Troop Kitchen Car. As the United States entered World War II, the nation's passenger car fleet was pushed to its limits while the military required the rapid movement of increasing numbers of troops. Pullman-Standard answered the call by building Troop Sleeper and ACF built Kitchen Cars, serving alongside traditional heavyweights like the 12-1 Sleeper and 70' Baggage Cars. These special-built troop cars made up military trains that moved personnel across the U.S. during World War II and the Korean War. Troop Sleepers accommodated 29 soldiers plus a Pullman Porter, while Kitchen Cars featured a coal-fired stove and dedicated food preparation area. After the war, many were sold as surplus and rebuilt for service as express boxcars, cabooses or Maintenance of Way (MOW) equipment such as bunk cars. This ACF Troop kitchen Car features factory-installed lighting. Features include:
- Detailed interiors
- Allied full-cushion trucks
- Working diaphragms
- All-wheel electrical pickup for uninterrupted, constant-intensity LED lighting
- Factory-installed wire grab irons
- Flush-fitting windows
- Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
- Accurately sized metal wheelsets
- Minimum radius 18"
