A total of 750 of these box cars were built by the American Car and Foundry for the D&RGW in 1904 and 1905, and were rebuilt by the D&RGW yards at their Alamosa yards in 1924. The kit is an exact replica of the rebuilt version of this icon of narrow gauge boxcars, and will include the classic 3'7" D&RGW trucks with steel wheels and AccuCraft® knuckle couplers). A superdetailing kit, Porduct ID HP-P046, which includes truck brake levers and clevises, is available separately.

This intriguing little 14 foot boxcar is another of several 4-wheel, original equipment cars used by the Denver & Rio Grande. Billmeyer & Smalls delivered the pattern car, numbered 1001, as well as parts for nine more cars to the D&RG in 1871. Prototypically, these cars are a perfect accompaniment to the Bachmann 4-4-0, lettered for the D&RG. Not only are they are an ideal beginner's project, they will go well with light, live steam locomotives and they are ideal for small layouts with sharp radii curves.

First built by Carter Brothers in 1876 to fill the need for a car to carry perishables larger than their earlier 24 foot car, the 28 foot car was originally equipped with 3'-8" trucks and was rated at 10 ton capacity. This model represents a later version with 4' trucks rated at 15 tons. The kit includes mortised frame and other precision cut basswood, laser cut sheetwood with pre-drilled holes for hardware, interior detail, moving doors, cast metal hardware, and sprung Carter Brothers trucks with true swing motion and steel wheels. The lettering set is of course included. The kit can be built as an early version with hand brakes and link and pin couplers, as shown above, or as an updated version with knuckle couplers and air brakes. This car is exactly what you need behind Bachmann's SPC 4-4-0!
