Superior Detritus Boxcar #238 
boxcar 1 This kit was inspired by an article that appeared in the December, 1955 issue of Model Railroader Magazine, and subsequently published in the book “Classic Articles from Model Railroader” by Kalmbach Publications.  The wit of George Hook and the weathering techniques used by John Allen resulted in a unique model that is bound to put a smile on the face of all who study the graphics.  We offer this replica as a tribute to these great pioneers of the greatest hobby. 

Kits are currently available in HO Std. Gauge.

“Something Old, Something New…”
In keeping with the nostalgia of the 1950s, our kit has pre-printed sides made from artist board, a common material used back then.  The old kits were a lot of fun to assemble, but often lacked the detail we all expect today.  This kit brings it all together with pre-printed and pre-weathered graphics plus high quality detail parts from Tichy and Grandt Line.  The superstructure parts are laser cut with all the holes precision drilled for convenient assembly of those fine details.  The underframe is a high quality resin casting from Railway Recollections.

We haven’t left out the fun, either.  Admittedly, the kit is more challenging than a “shake the box” plastic car kit, but is much easier to assemble than most of the “craftsman kits” on the market today.  The small amount of painting that is required can be done with a brush, and no drilling or tapping is necessary.  Most of the kit assembles with white glue, with some ACC required to attach the plastic details and metal grab irons.  You’ll get 2 or 3 evenings of enjoyment and a tremendous amount of satisfaction from this kit. 

Trucks and couplers included!
