Looking for a 50-foot cushioned boxcar that captures the UP–SP merger? The Rapido Trains B-100-40 boxcar, in a Union Pacific "Shield" repaint over Southern Pacific marks, is exactly that kind of piece. This patched car tells the story of a great Western railroad's transition on its own.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. This 50-foot exterior-post, cushioned-underframe boxcar is reproduced from the Southern Pacific class B-100-40 prototype, here in a repaint wearing the Union Pacific Shield. Separately applied metal grab irons, a fully detailed underframe, semi-scale couplers and turned metal wheels complete a realistic, ready-to-run car.
