Branchline Trains 1017 HO Scale 50′ Single Door Boxcar Kit Erie Lackawanna EL #’s Vary
NOS (New Old Stock)
At the end of World War II the railroads started ordering large numbers of 50’ boxcars to the American Association of Railroads (AAR) standard design first seen late 1940’s. The cars were built with several versions of postwar improved dreadnaught ends, and diagonal panel roofs of either standard or overhanging design. In addition, car bodies were built with different arrangements of side sills on the bottom of the car sides. These 50′ boxcars were built in large numbers and many lasted well into the 1970’s and 80’s.
