AHM's 41-foot High Cube Box Car was manufactured in Taiwan. The car's tooling resembles the
Kader-made example sold under the Bachmann name
and Lionel-HO, beginning
in the 1970s. The first HO-scale example in plastic model form for this car was offered by Athearn. The Athearn
40-foot High Cube Box Car was included in the company's Ready To Roll line first in 2006. A similar smooth-side plug
door 40-foot High Cube Box Car was offered by TYCO beginning
in 1978.
Examples examined of the AHM 41-foot High Cube Box Car include only information for the car contained
in the box, unlike many other AHM releases that feature a roster of roadnames with their various stock numbers. To date, I
have not found the -01 car and do not know what roadname it may be.
