    ExactRail is pleased to release the all-new Gunderson 6269 High Cube Box Car in N-scale!

    Growth in intermodal markets had the effect of stearing railroads away from box cars in the modern era. However, it became clear that there was a market for the development of new box cars for the of delivery paper products, where shippers require high-grade box cars. This stands against the trend of declining box car development of the time. Modern builders, such as Gunderson, Trinity and Trenton-Works, set themselves to the task of developing competitive box cars. These cars have a distinctively modern asthetic; they are known as 'Paper Boxes.'

    ExactRail is proud to offer the Portand-built version of the Gunderson 6269 High Cube Box Car in N-scale!
    With accurate details such as the Stanray 'Redi-Roof', 12' door, and only highly authentic lettering styles and colors,
    the Gunderson 6269 High Cube Box Car is model long absent from the N-scale market. As with all new ExactRail

    I'm always delighted to see any release in Wisconsin Central colours, and these cars are a must have for paper traffic! These will be a great addition to my fleet.

    Cheers,

    Kev
