On May 9, 1980, All Nation did a special run of only 100 of these box cars having all brass metal parts from the 3600/6600 series box cars. No catalog number was issued upon release. They were particularly pleasing to the eye, and these quickly sold out to O Scale scratch builders and modelers. The special run was never assigned a part number in the catalog.
In November 2024, All Nation again, by many special requests, has manufactured a limited run of these fine kits with many of the original parts in brass. In perfect condition, we used the very same die stamps that were used for the original run. A new generation of model builders can experience what many in the past enjoyed to build one of the finest high value kits made in the USA.
Today we re-release the Kit with an official part number in our catalog of PN#2024BK with the original assembly instruction sheet that includes the parts list and exploded diagram. We would caution the modeler considering the purchase of this kit, a good amount of skill and experience is required in order to build this product. It is not a trivial job and with good judgement may require some soldering, drilling and gluing. This is a composite of a wood infrastructure and brass, the combination of which makes for a really solid operable model.
One of the unusual features of this kit is the fact that we include all the necessary parts and components with some additional options so that sourcing for things like trucks and couplers come included to avoid the hassle of finding missing pieces to complete your project. The Bettendorf Sprung Truck Kit 3848 K with our new 33″ wheels and axles can be found in the box. We provide in this kit the top-operated Monarch Couplers. The only thing we do not provide is the solder, glue, paint and a decal. However, you have the option to purchase the kit without the trucks and couplers, too.
6600 Series 40′ 50 Ton Single Door Steel Box Car with the Blaw-Knox Running Board and the Pullman Standard (PS-1) ends achieves outstanding detail. The original reference model is a featured photograph for reference and is not for sale. It is to give an idea as to how the model will look once completed.
