Model Manufacturer and Description (HO Scale only):
Intermountain GN 12 panel 40' box car
Modeling Notes:
Modeling this car will require modifying the side panels and purchasing an
Intermountain 40' box car rectangular roof. Refer to photographs of the
prototype car. The side rivet lines must be shaved off, sand the side, and add
three "ribs" made from .010x.020 styrene strips. Add the angular
support extensions along the bottom sill. Door styles on the prototype varied -
there appears to have been at least three different types of doors on cars in
this group. The door with the model can be used (modified), or use the Camel
(Youngstown) door that is available from Intermountain.
