Magor/PC&F 40' Insulated/Heated Boxcar |
In
1950, Bangor & Aroostook commissioned Magor Car
Company to build 300 insulated heated plug-door boxcars
for potato service. An additional 150 cars were ordered
from Pacific Car & Foundry in 1953. The cars were
equipped with ventilators and charcoal heaters. New
Haven piggybacked an order of 100 cars with the PC&F
lot and factory-decorated its cars in the State of
Maine scheme to save money on the purchase. The cars
carried potatos in the winter and paper products in
the summer.
The model
is injection molded plastic with etched brass roofwalk
and brake platform. These cars ride at the prototypically-correct
height
above the rails, on Micro-Trains® Bettendorf trucks fitted with low-profile
wheelsets. Similar to designs in HO scale, the body-mounted coupler pockets
are integrated into the underframe and body. The model is equipped with
Micro-Trains® 1015 coupler knuckles. While some of these paint schemes
have been applied to other style 40' boxcars, this is the first time
that the exact (correct) prototype 40' XIH boxcar has been
made
in N
scale!
