And the other new kit for the fall

For all you Northern Pacific fans
How about a resin kit of the modified '37 AAR 40' boxcar?


Starting in 1957 and going through to 1965 the Northern Pacific rebuilt all of their 40’ ’37 AAR design boxcars by adding a solid side sill made from a length of C channel.
The as rebuilt paint scheme used the 60” monad, and some of these cars were repainted BN and lasted well into the 1970s.

The kit will feature all the usual things in a Yarmouth Model Works kit, one piece body, etchings, custom decals, etc.

The kit will be released at the Chicagoland RPM this October
