摘要

Modelers of mid-20th century railroading have a new piece of rolling stock to add to their fleets in the Walthers Mainline 40-foot American Railroad Association (ARA) standard single-sheathed boxcar. This ready-to-run car is modernized with AB brakes and has metal ends and doors. An adaptable standard. The 1923 ARA j XM-1 single-sheathed boxcar was a stan-dard that allowed variety. Roofs, ends, trucks, doors, and brake gear could all be customized to meet a railroad's preferences. Ultimately, the standard came down to dimensions for the height and length of the car.
