Canstock Boxcar
Canstock
Boxcar...
Canstock boxcars were designed with very large
offset
doors. They were made to transport the fragile sheets of
rolled metal
used to make cans. These "Canstock" cars were delivered in a
B&O
scheme but got repainted into the Chessie colors. They are
unique
in that they have the Chessie logo smack in the middle of the
car.
All other Chessie boxcars have the logo offset to the right.
But
with the door on the right, the logo was moved to the
middle.
Spring Mills Depot released this class as a ready to run car in 2012. They offer
B&O and Chessie B&O paint schemes in several numbers. They also
offer undecorated cars and I
have the decals. Herald King is the
only one I know of that makes the decals for these cars.
