Intermountain plans
to release another
production run of its
40’ 12-panel boxcar
in December. While
most 40’ cars of the
postwar period had ten side panels, the distinctive spotting
feature of these cars are the six riveted steel side panels on
either side of the door. The prototype was built for Great
Northern and InterMountain will release three versions for that
road in Glacier green, Express Pullman green, and the Empire
Builder scheme. In addition to the Southern Pacific T&NO livery
shown above, the HO scale ready-to-run model will be avail-
able for Spokane, Portland & Seattle; Denver & Rio Grande
Western (white scheme); Southern Pacific; and Burlington
Northern. Six numbers will be available for each road name at
an MSRP of $31.95 each.
Also coming in
December from
InterMountain are
Twin-Stack con-
tainer cars. Produced from tooling originally developed by A-Line
Division of Proto-Power West, the cars will be available deco-
rated for DTTX, ATSF, SP, CSXT-Sea Land, BN, NOKL, BNSF, and
TFM. The HO scale models are available in five-car sets at an
MSRP of $129.95 per set.
