Here come the Double Sheathed cars!

An old fashion car for an old fashion company that helped build the Midwest.

A picture is worth a thousand words.  Here's five thousand words that describe this car and it's history.

We used this MDC (Model Die Casting, Inc.) HO model from 50 years ago to design the MTH double sheathed boxcar.  While we believe it to be an actual freight car, we were unable to find an actual picture of one.  MDC Roundhouse products generally are prototypical.  They produced wood sided passenger cars, wood reefers and steam engines, more than Athearn did for early prototypes.  Some words were spelled differently 100 years ago.  Sometimes words can be spelled differently by immigrants, putting a German spelling on an American business or product wasn’t unheard of for example.

We would be surprised if they produced a car with two misspellings, but we are going to change our production model to reflect correct spellings.
