By 1946, the Army's special kitchen cars were no longer needed and were
offered for sale. Affordably priced, they required only minor modification
for civilian use as 50' box cars. But since they were equipped for
high-speed passenger service, they could easily be converted to other
roles. Many were remodeled with plated-over windows and vents, new side
doors and a fresh coat of paint. In service, they handled baggage, mail and
express shipments. Many led long lives, remaining in use until the late
1960s.
A must-have for period modelers, this car looks great alongside Walthers
streamlined or heavyweight equipment. Based on a C&O prototype, similar
converted cars were used by several roads.
