wood-sheathed, single-door

Maine Central (MEC)

S

wood kit, laser-cut

painted and lettered

Comes painted and lettered, but without trucks or couplers. Note that this represents a very early model of box car, and the door slides open to the left. Railroad standardization has doors open to the right, but several railroads kept using box cars with left-opening doors in service into the 1950s.
