Rails unlimited is pleased to announce that the Baltimore and Ohio 40 ft
M27 boxcars are available both in single and in double door versions. The steel box car was originally built in 1926 and 27 as a double door box car. In 1934 the mansard roof was applied to raise the inside clearance allowing Evan's Auto loaders. The 12-ft double doors allowed easy loading for the automobiles of that era. Within a few years the automobiles were too big to be loaded into these cars, so they were converted into general use box cars with one of the double doors being sealed off and then in later years replaced with steel panel, with only a single door remaining. The double door version is class class M27b and the single door version is class M27f. Both models are available in urethane from rails unlimited. The cars come with side and end ladders included with the model. There are also some some end brake details included. Either model is $140 for the build-up body as seen in the photos. Here is a chance to own a very unique and eye-catching model to put in your trains.
