Description
After their revenue freight career ended in 1983, a handful of CP Miniboxes were sold to Pacific Great Eastern (later BC Rail) and converted to Maintenance of Way (MOW) service. Painted in BC Rail's distinctive MOW scheme as BCOL equipment, road number #993020, they became distinctive work-train and tool-storage cars on the BC Rail system. Atlas's HO Master Series captures this niche prototype perfectly in 1:87.
Detailed with separately-applied ladders and brake hardware, Youngstown-style doors, factory AccuMate® couplers.
