**ARRIVED** Announcing Custom Run Premier 40' AAR Boxcar - Illinois Central Gulf (ICG) from Berwyn's Toys and Trains!

I am wondering how many ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF box cars I should get.

Ha - depends on how long a consist you want. I am already down for 2 CB&Q reefers, a Soo Line box car and now two ICG box cars.  I am told they have more surprises for the fans of Chicago area rail.

Something tells me this is not going to be inexpensive and silly me had thought with the closing of MTH I had already bought the last of my new MTH gear.

Which AAR boxcar?   1937, 1944, postwar X43, or how about the psot 1967 50 ft car.    The AAR had recommended many designs for boxcars.    Which is it to be?

Good question!  Since this is the same tooling that MTH has been using for their labeled "40' AAR box car" - (that they have produced for at least the past 15 years) - maybe YOU can enlighten us as to what exactly you (and your 2-rail friends) would describe it as.  For the rest of us, simply "40' AAR box car" suffices.

Thanks for your interest.

Since these appear to have 4/5 dreadnought ends, they are the 1937 prototype.

Added revised artwork to the post. 

@ rplst8.  Thanks for letting us know which version of 40' AAR boxcar this is.  You have educated us on this project.  Thank you.

ILLINOIS needs to be moved left for proper alignment.

They're FINALLY HERE!  Your orders are on their way!  Thanks to everyone who ordered these cars......

Well done.  Looking forward getting my shipment.
