| New Car Numbers for PROTO 1000™ Evans 50' High-Roof Box Cars Milwaukee, Wis. - Walthers announces a new run of Life-Like PROTO 1000 Evans 50' High-Roof Box Cars in HO Scale. For the first time, these popular 1970s-era cars will be offered as single cars (#920-37100 series, $9.98 each) and in limited-run two-packs (#920-237101 series, $19.98 each), making available a total of three different roadnumbers for each roadname. All cars will arrive in October 2007.
Based on the 70-ton box cars constructed in 1972 by Evans Products subsidiary U.S. Railway Equipment, these cars feature 10' doors for easy loading by forklift, and the highest roof allowable to maximize cubic capacity under the Plate C clearance diagram. They're favorites for high-value shipments of manufactured goods and paper rolls.
Perfect for modelers looking for general-service cars or to upgrade starter sets, these PROTO 1000 models are affordably priced, come fully assembled and feature molded-on detail to stand up to regular handling. With magnetic knuckle couplers and blackened-metal RP-25 wheels, they're a great choice for use on operations-oriented layouts too. And for the first time, the cars will be offered with three different numbers, making it easy to model a large fleet. The latest run includes the following roadnames:
