 HO scale vent box car has been updated and re-released The kit is based on two nearly identical groups of 40-ton steel underframe ventilated box cars built for the CofGa by Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Co.: CG 56001-56500 (built in 1925) and CG 56501-58500 (built in 1926).
The kit features a highly detailed one-piece urethane resin body with separate underframe and details, including both solid and ventilated doors, and open and closed end ventilators. Decals produced by Rail Graphics (using artwork provided by the Society) are included for post-1932 lettering. Detailed instructions are provided on mini-CD.
This new release includes kits with two different styles of roofs: the as-delivered Murphy XLA roof (same as the original 2005 kit) and the Murphy "Pivoted All Steel Flexible" car roof that was applied to ventilated box cars as replacements beginning in the mid 1930s.
The underframe has also been revised to incorporate new information located during the production of the Society's HO scale pulpwood car.
Both of the roof styles are available with trucks (Tichy sideframes and Red Caboose semi-scale wheelsets) and couplers (Kadee No. 58), or without.
Four different kits are available: - Kit 1 - With as-delivered Murphy XLA roof, trucks (Tichy), wheelsets (Red Caboose), couplers (Kadee 58), and decals ($51.45, includes shipping)
- Kit 2 - With as-delivered Murphy XLA roof and decals ($46.45, includes shipping)
- Kit 3 - With the later applied Murphy Flexible All Steel roof, trucks (Tichy), wheelsets (Red Caboose), couplers (Kadee 58), and decals ($51.45, includes shipping)
- Kit 4 - With the later applied Murphy Flexible All Steel roof and decals ($46.45, includes shipping)
