Walthers Trainline 50' Flat Car - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Walthers Trainline Wide-Vision Caboose - Norfolk Southern I purchased a couple of Walthers Trainline rolling stock through M.B. Klein on November 12, 2021, hoping to reproduce a modern-era Boom Car that will serve as a caboose. Athearn Trains 50' FMC Exterior-Post Combo Box Cars "Early" Railbox Also through M.B. Klein, I had purchased a three-pack of these box cars. I chose the "Early" Railbox scheme as this was my earliest memory in the 1980s when the large red/blue X was the most recognizable herald. Since most of my rolling stock will consist mainly of box cars, I will have to make plans to purchase other 50' box cars under various rail names in the future.
