Walthers Proto 920-102112 HO 86' Hi-Cube Boxcar - C&O #493906

Modern auto assembly depends on a steady flow of lightweight sheet metal and finished parts, and the 86' Pullman-Standard Hi-Cube Boxcar was built to move that traffic economically. Introduced in the mid 1960s, these oversized cars use wide double doors so forklifts can work directly inside, with parts stowed in special baskets to speed loading and unloading. Assigned to pooled auto-parts service, they turn up in priority parts trains on railroads across the country.

This Walthers Proto 920-102112 models the Chesapeake & Ohio #493906 car in HO scale, delivered ready to run. It captures the correct ribbed ends, prototypical side sills with visible interior posts, and etched-metal end platforms. Factory-installed grab irons join separately applied door hardware and ladders for a crisp, detailed look, while metal axles with 33" wheels and Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers keep 920-102112 rolling and coupling dependably.
