Bachmann N Scale (6) Bicentennial Boxcars - E-Z Mate Mark II Couplers - Metal Wheels - Ready-To-Run
These boxcars were mfgr'd in the mid-late 1970's just before the Bicentennial celebration...and have stood the test of time for 50+ years in great condition - however...one of the main issues has always been getting the chassis properly aligned in the boxcar - most of them have had the chassis pressed too far in a time or two - and worn over the stop rib so they don't line up properly without alot of attention and are easily misaligned again if not handled gingerly
I have solved this problem by creating a 3D printed total insert that fits perfectly and will not fall out - and has the same level of chassis detail
The original couplers have been replaced with brand new E-Z Mate Mark II Couplers
I have also changed the mounting screw for the trucks to a 3mm stainless steel flat head hex screw - no more little black screws lost in the carpet and much easier to install and adjust
All cars are weighted inside and each weighs approx 1.6 oz for a smooth and stable ride
All (6) cars will ship in the original jewel cases
