Modeling lumber traffic in British Columbia?
Introduced in the late 1960s especially for lumber service, the 56' Thrall All-Door Boxcar protected weather-sensitive building materials while simplifying loading and unloading with its large full-length sliding doors; many remained in service into the early 2000s. This WalthersProto replica in BC Hydro colours (the BC Hydro railway serving the Fraser Valley) is a limited edition, one-time run of these road numbers: etched end platforms with cross-over irons, finely detailed separately applied ladders, latch bars, door handles and brake wheel, factory-installed grab irons, ultra-smooth rolling metal axles with 33" wheelsets, and Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers. Ready to run.
