Introduction
Relive the Golden Years of model railroading with Kit Classics™ freight car kits. When you assemble these simple kits, you’ll rediscover fond memories of power packs, sectional tracks, shake-the-box kits, and dreams of creating your own model railroad empire. Kit Classics freight cars are perfect for sharing this timeless tradition with the next generation of model railroaders. All that’s needed for assembly is a Phillips screwdriver, glue, and a few minutes to build.
The Evans 5100 cu. Ft. Insulated Double-Plug-Door Boxcar was created to meet the growing needs of shippers in the late 1960s. It had heavy interior insulation and an optional internal load restraint system, leading to its classification as “RBL” by the AAR. The boxcar aimed to protect cargo from harsh weather and temperature changes without relying on refrigeration or heating equipment.
The boxcar had a 16’ wide door opening for easy loading and unloading, and its closed double plug doors provided an airtight opening. It had cushioned underframes, making it ideal for shippers of delicate items like canned goods, bottled products, and foodstuffs. It was also useful for shippers of finished lumber, such as wood veneers, who wanted to avoid damage during transit. The Evans 5100cf Boxcar prevented warpage and other damages that could occur during transportation using regular boxcars or flatcars.
