My 2 rail O scale friend finished painting and lettering an Atlas undecorated single sheathed box car for me that I picked up at the December TCA meet in Nashville. This box car was painted and lettered for the Tennessee Central RR.

 

 Here is the prototype we used for the TC box car.

Here is a picture of both cars that my friend painted and lettered for me - IC and TC

I have been hoping that Atlas would make these two single sheathed box cars for years. I am sure both box cars will show up in the next Atlas catalog!

 

Thanks for looking at the pictures.

Thanks Mark.

 

Malcolm,

 

I love them both! My Grandfather was the yard master up here in Memphis at the IC Johnson yard, thus my attraction to the IC.  The Tennessee Central has always been of interest to me. 

 

Dave,

All I can say is I WILL HAVE A WELLSVILLE ADDISON AND GALLETON  SINGLE SHEATHED BOX CAR BY ATLAS!

 

I have asked Atlas to help me track one down, but so far no luck. I believe the WAG  single sheathed box car is made of " UNOBtainium"

 

Take care,

 

Richard
