Modelling modern Canadian railroading? From 1975 to 1980, National Steel Car built more than a thousand 50-foot 6-inch single plug-door box cars. The great majority of these 100-ton cars went to Canadian railways, where they served the paper industry above all — a car type still seen from one end of the network to the other.
This model wears the green, white and yellow British Columbia Railway scheme, a road built on the lumber and pulp traffic of British Columbia — the very purpose these cars were made for. What sets it apart is the level of detail of Atlas's Master line: the body reproduces the prototype's 5277 cu ft version, with the end and door variations specific to the scheme modelled. Body-mounted metal couplers, 100-ton trucks with metal wheels and a detailed underframe — the car is ready to run straight out of the box. Four road numbers are offered. Pre-order, delivery expected in the first quarter of 2027.
