Product Overview
Condition: 9 Original Box: Reproduction Year: 1959
10 photos available above
Up for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, near-new Alaska box car. This somewhat hard-to-find freight car has the unusual Type IV body mold with beautiful exterior colors, clean and crisp side lettering and graphics -- with one small exception. One one side (see the 2nd & 4th photo above) the lettering "at your" is faint -- which appears to be due to an issue with the original printing, not from handling or poor storage over the years. Otherwise, the body is a gray mold with heat stamped lettering on a type IV box car. All metal components -- including the frame, door guides, brake wheel, couplers, wheels and axles are all clean of rust and oxidation. There is some very minor box rub on both door handles but there are no other rubs on the body. Lastly, the wheels show no evidence of use or track time. Overall, a gorgeous freight car that does not often appear for sale in high grade collector condition.
