50' Double Door Plugged Boxcar - While usually referred to as an insulated boxcar, the prototype for this car, according to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), is technically a bunkerless refrigerator car, class RBL. Built by Evans Products Company at Blue Island, Illinois from 1969-1977, these cars were designed for shipments that need protection from temperature extremes but do not require refrigeration.                    continue reading Flat Car w/40' Trailer, The trailer-on-flat-car, or TOFC, concept actually predates the trucking industry. From 1885-1893, Long Island farmers could ship their loaded wagons to Manhattan markets on Long Island Rail Road flatcars. Teamsters rode in their own coach on the farmers' specials, while their horses traveled in stable cars. continue reading

Operating Action Car - This exciting car features a backlighted moving animation strip visible through each of the car's four large viewing windows. Utilizing a quiet and efficient motorized player and bright LED lighting, the animated action really shines bright!                    continue reading Standard Tank Car - The tank car was relatively uncommon until the 1870s, when the nascent petroleum industry ordered large quantities of metal tanks carried on wooden car bodies. By the early 1900s, a standard design had evolved that lasted throughout the steam and early diesel eras: an 8,000-11,000 gallon metal tank perched on a metal flatcar-like underframe.  continue reading

Each of the above RailKing items can be ordered through any M.T.H. Authorized Retailer.
