Pullman Standard 86’ Auto Parts Box Cars Coming to 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. The first batch is due late summer/early fall of 2008 with many to follow. 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!
