Overview:
Our FreightSounds Boxcars remain popular, and this year's batch will catch your eye and your ear! With new and some unique paint schemes, these cars are appropriately decorated and detailed for service from the 1940s to the 1980s. Among the notable schemes are a one-of-a-kind experimental car from Great Northern, a one-of-eight gold boxcar from the CB&Q and another bannered-boxcar from the 1947 Friendship Train. Chessie, Burlington, ICG and RF&P cars feature lowered ladders and lack roof walks matching their look in the final decades of service for these reliable old 40 footers! These colorful and noisy cars are sure to stand out in any freight train.
