Add excitement to your “Fallen Flags” train collection with this CMStP&P “Round-Roof” single-door boxcar. The prototype was originally built in 1933 by the PRR, with many railroads following suit. The design was adopted by the American Railway Association (ARA) which became the Association of American Railroads in October 1934. This boxcar was built through the 1960s. The Milwaukee Road rebuilt a wrecked boxcar in 1934 as a test to determine if they could build a welded steel boxcar like the round-roof. Only one was built which employees called the “Wagon Top”. Because of the high cost and excess weight of this car’s steel shell, the Milwaukee car shops came up with a better design which was the beginning of the rib-sided boxcar which was used well into the 1970s.

This classic scale boxcar was developed by the Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club in association with the Milwaukee Road Archives and was manufactured by Lionel LLC. The car features die-cast sprung trucks with magnetic couplers, and diecast frame and metal brake wheel. This is a very limited-edition club car, only a few factory-sealed examples remain. You’ll receive a new factory-sealed unit as illustrated in the last photo.
