Rivarossi HO Scale Canadian Pacific Railroad Box Car #80901 with Plug Door

These boxcars, made from high-quality materials and featuring detailed and authentic liveries, ran regularly from 1955 to 1975, being pulled by first and second-generation diesel locomotives or late steam engines. These box cars come equipped with knuckle couplers and metal road wheels, as well as plug doors, ensuring a realistic and durable construction.

Canadian Pacific, a fundamental component in establishing Western Canada, connected the east to the west, settling acres of farms along the way. Seemingly the most resistant to economic stresses compared to other North American railroads in the 1900s, Canadian Pacific weathered development, two World Wars, and even the Great Depression without having to file for bankruptcy, while assisting their country in its time of need and innovating alongside the changing world. Today, Canadian Pacific is still in operation, now known as CPKC, the first single-line transnational railroad network to run through Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

Rivarossi, an Italian manufacturer now part of the Hornby Hobbies family of brands, has produced some of the most iconic locomotives in steam, diesel, and electric over the last 50 years. Boxcars, designed to carry a wide range of crated or palletized freight across the country, have evolved from the originally short-lived, wood-framed versions to the more durable, steel-framed 50-foot models produced by the American Car and Foundry Company.

Hornby Hobbies offers a comprehensive range of products for model railway enthusiasts, including train sets, locomotives, and a variety of rolling stock such as coaches, wagons, and freight. From classic to modern designs, there is something to suit every model railway enthusiast's preferences. Building your model railway layout has never been easier, thanks to Hornby's brands like Skaledale and Skale Scenics, which bring your layout to life with buildings, monuments, and trees, adding realism to any layout or diorama.
