Model Railroading > An ex Marinette, Tomahawk and Western boxcarDate: 05/12/19 14:33 An ex Marinette, Tomahawk and Western boxcar Author: ghemr Here's an Athearn "ready to run" Marinette Tomahawk and Western per diem boxcar that was acquired by Alabama and Gulf Coast RR (AGR). After the usual fading, weathering, graffiti and general upgrades (Intermountain wheels, Kadee couplers, Smokebox Graphics decals) it will fit right into my modeling era.........

Thanks for the into on the UPC code stickers and the red brake stickers--those will work as an alternative for cars using Cobra Treadguard HF brake shoes.

Jim Date: 05/12/19 20:55 Re: An ex Marinette, Tomahawk and Western boxcar Author: MrMRL Love the barcodes! I’ve even seen them stuck across the door edge and door frame as what I assume to be a form of tamper evidence if the sticker is ripped in two before the load arrives at the warehouse.
