Southern Pacific Railroad Box Car HO Scale Train Rolling Stock

Rivarossi, an Italian manufacturer and 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. These highly detailed and authentically liveried box cars are made using high-quality construction materials and come equipped with knuckle couplers and metal road wheels, featuring sliding doors.

Boxcars carry a wide range of crated or palletized freight all around the country, protected from the elements for all types of products and goods as they make the long haul to their destination. Switching from the originally short-lived boxcars made of wood, which degraded and became a fire hazard over time, these 50-foot boxcars are fashioned after the second/third generation of boxcars made from steel frames modeled after those produced by ACF, American Car and Foundry Company. These boxcars ran regularly from 1955-1975 and could be seen being pulled by 1st and 2nd generation diesel locomotives or late steam.

Hornby Hobbies offers everything for your model railway needs, from train sets, locomotives, and a wide variety of rolling stock such as coaches, wagons, freight, track, and so much more! Ranging from classic to modern, there is something for everyone. Building your model railway layout has never been easier! Hornby offers brands such as Skaledale and Skale Scenics that bring your layout to life, from buildings, monuments, and trees, adding realism to any layout or diorama.
