191001A HO Scale Trenton Works 6637 cu.ft. BC Rail Boxcar

 In the early 1990s, BC Rail set out to revitalize their rolling stock fleet to better serve this essential industry. In need of a high-capacity boxcar to transport these goods to both the Canadian and US markets, the BCR turned to Trenton Works in Nova Scotia. Based on similar cars delivered to CN around the same time, Trenton delivered the first 150 car order in March and April 1995, numbered 60100-60249. These Plate E cars were painted dark green with the stylized BC Rail lettering. The design featured a combo door setup with a sliding door and plug door for a 16’ opening and a 6637 cubic foot interior space. The length was 60 feet, 9 inches (interior) and 66 feet, 3 inches (exterior). These also featured the distinctive tapered side sill — a design that would disappear with future orders from Trenton in 1996 and ‘97. Rapido MSRP $59.95 CAD
