Milwaukee, Wis. - Walthers announces roadname, numbering and tooling updates for our Gold Line Hi-Cube Pullman-Standard Box Cars. Arriving in September 2007, these new HO scale box cars will be available in singles and limited-run two-packs.

Designed to move lightweight sheet metal parts economically, these big cars are a fixture of modern auto production. Introduced in the mid 60s by Pullman-Standard, the cars feature large double-doors for easy access by forklifts. Parts are carried in special baskets to simplify loading or unloading. Assigned to pool service, they can be spotted moving in priority parts trains on many railroads. Based on the common four-door design originally built for Ford and Chrysler plants, the HO Scale models feature the correct ribbed ends and the unique sidesills with visible interior posts as found on the prototypes.

This HO Scale Gold Line freight car comes fully assembled and includes a complete set of addon wire grab irons; molded drill starter points on the body simplify installation. Working knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks with RP-25 metal wheelsets round out each car. Cars also feature revised ladders and separately applied door latch details.
