Produced by ROCO in Austria, this AHM offering is one of a variety
of styles produced and sold as a "40ft. Box Car" or more simply as "Box Car" in AHM catalogs. The car carries a
$1.98 retail in a late '60s catalog and $2.98 retail in a 1977 price listing.
A new product review of the AHM PS-1 Box Car is included in the
Trade Topics section of the May 1962 issue of Model Railroader. The review states, "the underbody is unusually well
detailed with complete brake rigging and simulated floor planking with wood grain."
This car debuts with only the Delaware & Hudson roadname and is
pictured below in an ad found in a December 1961 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine.
