High-Cube 60' Boxcar Features
The RTR (Ready-to-Run) Athearn model beautifully captures the essence of Gunderson-built boxcars, delivering a striking representation of their design. Additionally, several paint schemes resembling the Trenton/Greenbrier-built cars are offered, providing close "stand-in" type models for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
