    Got another one of my freightcars finished this time a Frisco Waffle side boxcar.

    This was built in 1974 by American Car & Foundry's St. Louis plant. It is equipped with an uncommon 10'6" sliding door (10'6" x 12'2"). Inside length is 50'6" Plate F+. Inside height is 12'10". Capacity is 6,175 cubic foot. 220,000 lbs GRL. This car was designed for applience service.

    The model started off as an MDC 50' hi-cube waffle side boxcar, the door is from an Athearn 40' hi-cube boxcar

    This shows the new waffles and other detail.
