HO MASTEr 1932 ArA BOx CAr www.atlasrr.com/HOFreight/ho1932boxcar4.htm

MSrP:$33.95

A goal of the American Railway Association (ARA) in the early 1920s was to produce an all-steel box car that could be recognized as a standard by the member railroads. Although the original design presented in 1923 produced in excess of 60,000 cars, it wasn’t until a new design was presented in 1932 that the member railroads gave their approval.

After extensively testing five prototypes in 1933, over 14,500 cars were produced for twenty-three railroads throughout the following decade. This design soon evolved into the 1937, Modified 1937, and Postwar AAR box cars.

Although not the most popular design produced, numerically speaking, the 1932 ARA Standard box car is considered one of the most important designs in railroad history.

first generation ford® Explorers (1991-1994) were equipped with a 4.0 L 155 hp V6 engine and 4-speed A4Ld automatic transmission or 5-speed M5od manual transmission. 15 hp was added for the 1993 edition for a total of 170 hp. Much like its predecessor, the Bronco ii, the ford® Explorer was derivative of the ford® Ranger Pickup, but larger. it came in both 2-door and 4-door bodystyles and was available with rear or four-wheel drive. Explorers came in 4 trim levels: base XL, XLT, Sport (only available on the two-door version), and the upscale Eddie Bauer Edition. The Limited edition, added for 1993, was avail-able only in the 4-door style and was even more upscale than the Eddie Bauer version.

Coming in a range of prototypical colors, these vehicles will look right at home parked in front of our garage kits, out on the streets of your layout, or, for layouts based in late 1992 and on.

N MASTEr 42’ PULPWOOd FLAT CAr www.atlasrr.com/NFreight/npulpwood2.htm

Pulpwood is not a specific type of wood, but actually tree limbs that are cut to a specified length, then turned into wood pulp and used in the paper industry. Early paper making had the trees near the paper plant. As timber resources were diminished, the need for transporting pulpwood began to rise. Railroads were seen as an efficient method of transporting pulpwood. Pulpwood in the Southeast and Northeast is generally cut into four-foot or less lengths and loaded onto “V-deck” bulkhead flat cars. The Atlas pulpwood flat is a reproduction of an early 1950s General Steel Castings “V-deck” design.


FEATURES:• Ready-to run• Rugged die-cast chassis• Stirrups• Plastic deck + bulkheads• Separate air reservoir• Brake cylinder• Triple valve• Open or closed bulkheads to match the prototype• Simulated detailed pulpwood load
