Re: New Box car

Hi
The CN version has a build date of "12-55" and a weigh date of "FM 12-53". ?? It come in two number "11059" and "11065". These dates may not be steam era for some but for me modeling the GTW anything up to 1960 is ok.

Hi Everyone,
Just got in a new boxcar kit from a new supplier into the shop. The 40'
box with 8' door and riveted side is a model of National Steel Car from
Canada. The model has "NSC-3 ends and NSC roof and roof walk". it is
produced by Trains Canada of Calgary, Alberta, and in this country seems to
be sold through Herpa.
The PGE lettered car has a build date of 1/58. the hand holds on the right
side and end are molded on, but the 8 rung ladder seems to be a separate
part. The Bettendorf style trucks seem to have been converted to roller
bearings and the journal dust covers are missing. The model has a KD
compatible coupler.
The model also comes in several later PGE/BCR, CN and CP schemes.
Anyone seen the model and can comment on its accuracy?
