Description
The CP 'Script' herald — the flowing 'Canadian Pacific' script lettering — was applied to CP boxcars from the late 1920s through the mid-1940s. The base car is the CP Minibox: 50-ton steel boxcars built 1929-1930 by Canadian Car & Foundry, Eastern Car, and National Steel Car as a transitional design between ARA 1923 and 1932 standards. Atlas's HO Master Series captures the prototype in the early Script scheme with road number #404544.
Detailed with separately-applied ladders and brake hardware, Youngstown-style doors, factory AccuMate® couplers.
