Northern Pacific PRE-WAR 1923-1938. Production Model illustrated.

 

Rapido Trains Inc. is excited to announce our newest HO freight car, the Northern Pacific 10000-series boxcar! Starting in 1923 the Northern Pacific ordered more than 4,000 double-sheathed cars in the 10000-13999 series. This large group shared many common features, including steel ends with lumber doors, radial roofs and lever handbrakes. Amazingly, these cars lasted in revenue service until 1970 and in company service for another 12 years. Because of their large number they could be found on freight trains across North America.

Rapido’s model has been scaled from original blueprints and field measurements with the assistance of the NPRHA. Features include full underframe detail with riveted center sill, AB or K brakes as appropriate, and formed wire grab irons installed at the factory. Up to 12 numbers will be offered per scheme.
