Can you tell what it is yet?

I call it my Rolf Harris boxcar because I won't know what it is till it gets here. All I know is that it's made by Lima, so the seller said anyway. Can anyone make out the road?

Hi Poliss,

Didnt have time to search around this morning think i have a car like it though as i say it is a bit bright so i may have gone on ebay

Found this HO car though and mine was just like it but of course N scale

Not exactly the same but very near you could find its an older Atlas or Bachmann release.

I found another pic on ebay. Looks like the same model. Still don't know who makes it, as this seller didn't know either.

Hi Poliss,

Seems Model Power/Atlas/Bachamnn have all made various issues according to this listing on ebay ........

I'm guessing it's Model Power. Should find out tomorrow, if it comes.

Pol,
The picture above is definitely a Model Power boxcar as a little research found : Click here

rrpicturearchives.net didn't have that roadnumber in their archives. Since the shown roadnumber is not even close to number range of IC rolling stgock, I presume it is a phantasy-number.

However, there's a clue to the cartype (DF-2). According to this, I found out the following for your yard archive:
AAR Class: XL
AAR Type: A332
Detail Info: Equipped Box Car, Inside Length: 49' to 59', Sliding door, opening between 9 and 11 feet

Picture : Click here

Rolf came this morning. Looked underneath and she is made by Lima. The only differences between the one in the pic and mine are that Rolf has no grafitti and the orange isn't quite so bright.
