More rebuilds followed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. By late 1948, close 14,000 of the original 24,500 USRA double-sheathed cars had been rebuilt with quite a degree of variation including the end, door and underframe. These steel side rebuilds were far more popular than their single-sheathed counterparts and make a great addition to the Atlas HO scale product line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Atlas USRA HO Rebuilt Steel 40' Box Car Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eReady-to-run\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eHighly detailed body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003e10-Panel body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003e7-8 or 5-5-5 panel ends as per the prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eAccurate painting and printing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eBrake detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eAccuMate® couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eOpening door\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eFishbelly or Straight underframe as per prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eSeparately applied wire grabs and side ladders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eInside height of model may vary from prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eAccuMate® couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Home Shops LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44474135871670,"sku":"W-HFB-042-004","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/5425\/3750\/files\/MV30290_1.jpg?v=1766546117","url":"https:\/\/homeshops.net\/products\/weathered-mvr-30290-ho-scale-atlas-usra-rebuilt-steel-40-box-car","provider":"Home Shops LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
