Review INTERMOUNTAIN Boxcar Aar Quincy Chicago High Burlington

Product Description: Cascade Classette - Intermountain Railways Boxcar Model No. 10 Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Quincy "CHI" High Cube, road number 33348

The Intermountain Railways Boxcar, modeled after the Cascade Classette design, is a highly detailed and intricately crafted model railroad accessory for anyone seeking to add an authentic and visually appealing touch to their HO-scale railway layout. This boxcar, specifically numbered 33348, represents the Quincy Service "Chicago High Cube" variant used by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad.

The Cascade Classette boxcar was a common sight on North American railways during the latter half of the 20th century. Its distinctive design includes a high cube shape for increased cargo volume, which was an essential feature for railways seeking to maximize their freight capacity. The Intermountain Railways Boxcar model faithfully recreates every detail of this design, from the imposing 53'5" length to the 10' height and 10'4" width. This results in a scale size of approximately 12 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 3 inches high.

The model boasts an authentic paint scheme reflective of the Quincy Service livery as used by BNSF. The design features the iconic blue, red, and silver color palette, as well as the iconic "Quincy Service" hatch doors branding. Each detail, from the accurate rendering of the company logo to the meticulously painted individual numbers, underscores the model's commitment to historical authenticity.

The Interior:

Inside the Intermountain Railways Boxcar, engineers and hobbyists will find a wealth of realistic details. The bulkhead and cement floor are intricately designed, complete with accurate bolt heads and other minor details typical of the real-world counterparts. The interiors are left unpainted, inviting users to customize their models with their preferred plywood or cement patterns.

The model's roof comes with supplied embossed plastic walkways, grabs, and ladders, further contributing to its authentic look and feel. Additionally, sliding doors are included on both sides of the car for easy access to its interior.

External features:

One of the most distinct features of the Intermountain Railways Boxcar model is its hold tight door catching system. Modeled after the ROM-B "hold tight" door catching system used in the real world, this feature allows for the model's doors to securely remain in the open position during operation. The usual risks of door opening at imperfect moments on the railway layout are mitigated with this ingenious addition.

The brake platform on the model's rear end is faithfully replicated, as well. This detail includes individual air hoses, brake rods, and rotating brakewheels. The model also includes three truss rods representing the car's undercarriage, giving a subtle yet noticeable realistic touch.

The model comes equipped with a Kadee coupling system, making it easy to connect to other parts of your railway layout. It's compatible with scale knuckle couplers (such as the Kadee No. 58 or the Intermountain Deluxe McHenry paper weight coupler), offering added flexibility and ease of use when manipulating and integrating your collection.

The Intermountain Railways Boxcar model is a testament to the passion and meticulous craftsmanship of model railroading. With its authentic representation of the Quincy Service Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Quincy "CHI" High Cube design and an abundance of fine details, it is sure to inspire hours of enjoyment and become a focal point on any HO-scale railway layout.
