42' Truss Rod Wood Sheathed Refrigerator (Reefer) Car -Great Northern Ventilator-Refrigerator Western Fruit Express - HO Craftsman Kit with Sprung Metal Trucks
Exc   Wood_Metal   old
$48

Classic kit from the Craftsman Era of HO kits. Very detailed and well made kit.

Excellent metal sprung trucks are included. Features pre-scribed and cut and factory painted and lettered hardwood sides decorated with 'Great Northern Railway Ventilator - Refrigerator / Western Fruit Express' in bright yellow with black designs and all other required markings in black, fully milled and cut hardwood roof and floor, fully cut, prescribed and painted bristol board car ends, metal door hardware and cast brake parts including levers, cast coupler pockets, underside girders, bolsters, ice hatches, brake wheel, metal ladders, grab irons, roof ribs and brake linkage, scale chain and more. This kit has complete underside detail and instructions to help with this tricky but rewarding task. Includes full size plans and instructions. The kit has never been started. Most parts are still internal factory sealed bags and those that were never bagged have been inventoried complete.

40' Steel Box Car - Seaboard Railroad 'The Route of Courteous Service' - HO Craftsman Kit with Trucks
VG++   Wood_Metal   old
$48

Very high quality wood and metal kit from the Golden Age of HO Craftsman kit. Builds a very accurate and highly detailed prototype. Of the early metal box car kits, these are my favorites, with their popularity witnessed by the various reissues through the years. Almost all the parts that are metal on the actual box car are metal on the model. This and the factory paint, lettering and decoration makes these kits difficult to beat for scale appearance. Features stamped steel body, car ends and roof that are that are factory painted, lettered and decorated, steel ladders, doors, door guides and brake platform, cast metal running boards, bolsters, coupler pockets and three piece brake detail, stamped metal undercarriage beam with fine cross bearers, corner steps, grab irons and more. Includes trucks. The factory paint is mint, and the factory protective plastic is still in place on the body, roof and car ends. Due to the high degree of factory finishing, the only painting required for this kit is the interior floor and underside. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including instructions. NOTE: this kit is in a period Athearn box, but the box originally contained a different kit.
