The USRA single-sheathed cars formed significant parts of many railroad’s fleets. The New York Central System had 2,500 cars, the Milwaukee Road had 3,000 copies and the Pennsylvania had over 9,700 cars. The PRR’s cars were delivered with wooden doors, but many later received either Youngstown corrugated or Creco panel doors. The Pennsy’s cars were some of the longest-living with a dozen cars still listed for interchange in 1968! Several railroad later rebuilt their single-sheathed cars with steel sides, and eth New York Central even converted 700 of them into stock cars in the 1940s.

Rapido’s new model of the USRA single-sheathed boxcar features an all-new body with correct steel underframe and correct free-standing details. Models will be equipped with either KC or AB brakes as appropriate. Wood, Youngstown corrugated and Creco panel doors will also be available as appropriate. These cars fill a need for a state-of-the-art model of this common car on any transition-era or earlier period layout.
