Kit 8.02 -
Illinois Central
AAR Modified Design
40-foot steel boxcar
Starting in 1939, the Illinois Central began purchasing steel-sheathed 40-foot single-door boxcars with an interior height of 10-feet, 4-inches. Between 1939 and 1940, the IC purchased 5000 boxcars of this design before construction ended due to WW2 steel rationing. The first 3000 of these cars had square corner-post ends and are the focus of this kit.
The kit consists of
a one-piece resin body, floor and detail parts; Plano Models etched ladders; Yarmouth etched roof walk and etched supports; A-Line stirrups; Tichy AB brake set and Ajax hand brake hardware; assorted wire sizes and grabs; Precision Design Company decals; and the closest Tahoe
Model Works truck type that is available. The modeler is to supply any small styrene bits, chain, couplers, weight and small screws
needed to complete the model.
Kit 8.02 is $60, plus shipping.

Kit 17.0 New York Central 50' steel gondola
The NYC installed 1000 of these 70-ton gondolas in 1929. They were built by the Pressed Steel Car Company in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. The cars were originally in the 324000-324999 series and had steel floors and drop-doors.
By 1945, 712 cars had been rebuilt with wood floors and the drop-door hardware was removed. They were renumbered into the 751000-751999 series. This kit reflects these changes and the renumbering.
This is a one-piece carbody to ease assembly. Kits include Tichy Train Group brake hardware, Tahoe Model Works #110 ACF 70-ton A-3 truck sideframes, and Precision Design Company decals. Couplers are not included.
Kit 17.0 is $45, plus shipping.
