50-foot boxcar w/sliding doors, Pennsylvania (PRR 73079).
This is the standard Atlas Trainman release with upgraded details. The ride height was
raised slightly by adding styrene shims to the top of the floor. The plastic roofwalk
was removed and the roof holes filled in. An etched brass roofwalk with wire grab irons
was added, along with a better-defined Universal brakewheel. The cutouts for coupler
clearance in the bottom of the ends were filled in and shaped to match stamped pattern.
New etched stainless steel stirrups replaced the molded detail on the body. Micro-Trains
body-mounted couplers were added, and Fox Valley wheels were installed in the existing trucks
after the coupler pockets were removed. The existing graphics masked before the modified
areas painted to match the existing paint.
