K105 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas Single Sheathed Box Cars

In the 1920s the Missouri-Kansas-Texas amassed a large fleet of single sheathed cars with Howe truss sides, 7/8 Murphy corrugated steel ends, and ARA cast steel trucks. There were 3,000 of these Katy box cars, all of them built by American Car & Foundry in 1923 (car nos. 76001-77500) and 1925-1926 (car nos. 95000-96499.) They were essentially identical, but did use slightly different components for the doors and roofs. Some cars used the Murphy “Standard Pressed Steel Roof” while others were built with the Hutchins Dry Lading roof and the cars were equipped with either National Bottom-Supported or Camel No. 32 Top Supported doors. The cars were also quite recognizable as most were painted in the familiar chrome yellow of the Katy with black lettering from the late 1930s and into the 1950s. The kits for these cars feature one-piece cast resin bodies plus separate detail castings and additional parts. Trucks and couplers not included.

NOTE: Currently, there is a 60-90 day delivery timeframe on this kit. This will remain in effect until late September, 2008.
