O Transylvania Power & Light Boxcar w/Volt Meter

Scale: 

• O Gauge

  Monitor your track power with this box car and its
  operating power meter. The back-lit meter will sense your AC track
  voltage, providing a great way to determine track voltage, bad track
  connections and dirty track sections.

  The car body is based on the 40’ 1930s steel box
  car so familiar to model railroaders. Wood box cars, which were built
  into the World War I era, and early steel cars were largely
  non-standardized, with details varying from railroad to railroad. The
  move toward standardization began with American Railway Association
  (ARA) designs of 1923 and 1932. It culminated in the 1937 AAR boxcar,
  which was adopted by railroads from coast to coast and built in the
  tens of thousands. (The AAR (American Association of Railroads) was and
  still is the successor to the ARA.)

  While the original paint schemes were usually drab
  variations on standard box car red, new schemes in the 1950s and later
  brought color back to the American freight train. Our models replicate
  many of the most fondly remembered paint schemes seen on these cars.

  High quality, traditionally sized RailKing Freight Cars
  provide detailed bodies and colorful paint schemes for the O Gauge
  railroader. MTH makes an enormous variety of RailKing Freight Cars,
  including many different car types and roadnames. No matter what era or
  part of the country you are modeling, RailKing is sure to have
  something for you.
