Description
Description
This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale CNCF 5000 Boxcar is based on Mexican-built cars ordered by U.S. railroads in the late 1970s as part of the "IPD" incentive per diem boxcar boom. This was the peak of U.S. modern freight car production, however it wasn't just limited to the U.S. builders as multiple U.S. railroads opted to purchase the 70-ton 50-foot boxcar from the Mexican freight car builder CNCF. Thousands more CNCF 5000 boxcars would be built for Mexico's national railways in the 1980s as well. These 5000 cubic foot boxcars still roam the rails of U.S., Canada, and Mexico into the 2020s. The CNCF 5000 has many unique spotting features from the triangular supports above the door post, to the wrapped end sheets and the sharp notches in the sill near the stirrups. This model features roadname-appropriate body styles, door styles, and end styles, as well as applied wire grab irons, blackened metal wheels and metal knuckle couplers. This iconic boxcar is a must have for any model railroader focused between the late 1970s and present day. The CNCF 5000 Boxcar is one of many Atlas HO Scale boxcars.
Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions
What is preordering and why would I want to do that?
What is preordering and why would I want to do that?
In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.
Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.
