Pullman Standard 86’ Auto Parts Box Cars Now in N Scale!
Bluford Shops is proud to announce N scale Pullman Standard 86 ’Auto Parts Box Cars in both Double and Quad Door versions. These cars have injection molded plastic bodies, etched metal details, operating knuckle couplers, accurately appearing trucks and cushion draft gear enclosures. Projected MSRP: $24.95 for single cars, $49.90 for 2-packs.
These cars first appeared in the mid-60s and are still in use today. Unlike general service freight cars, auto parts boxes are assigned
to pools based on a mileage formula and often spend most of their time off home rails. In other words, “foreign road” cars usually
out-number home road cars in a given parts train to the point that if you missed the locomotives passing, you would have a hard time
telling whose train it was!
Check out this Bluford Shops boxcar sent in by Randall Smith. This is a model of Conrail 295467, a former Penn Central car, as it
appeared in 1985. Nice job!
Bluford Shops products are not intended for children under 14.
Here Randall shows us his weathering on a factory lettered Bluford Shops DT&I sky blue car. Outstanding!
