Bigger is the key word to profitability for today's railroads, and these extra-tall box cars help pay the bills on many lines. Designed to handle paper rolls 10' or more in diameter (now used for magazine and newspaper production), these cars are a frequent sight alongside paper mills and printing plants as well as in passing trains.

They'll look great alongside George Roberts Printing (933-3046), or if space is at a premium Variety Printing (933-3161), as well as Superior Paper Co. (933-3060, now retired, but may still be available at some shops).

The cars feature separate door details, end ladders and brake platforms, optional formed wire grab irons for sides and ends (with molded-on starter points to simplify drilling), working knuckle couplers, a snap-on roof and bolted-in weight and underframe. Choose from eight modern schemes with three different car numbers for each road; two in the 2-Packs and the third on the single car. (An undecorated single car is available for customizing for your own road too.)
