HO Scale Boxcars

These days it's hard to convey the excitement of waiting for the train to pull into a small prairie town a hundred years ago. That's what people did, because the train was the lifeline to everything not grown or made in the town. An elderly woman still tells about meeting a December train with her grocer father--one of the boxcars contained the barrel of Eastern oysters and the crate of the only oranges folks saw all year. Christmas dinner came on the train!

HO scale boxcars let you feel some of that anticipation. From slotted cars for livestock to weatherproof ones for all the essentials and entertainments of life, HO scale boxcars provide space for exciting to-scale contents, from cattle to pianos! Whether you build your own or buy, boxcars bring both history and creativity to your layout - load 'em up and move 'em out! Somebody's waiting for what they bring.
