Athearn introduces its 40-foot sliding door box car model in 1957. Also new at the same time,
Athearn debuted the steel offset cupola caboose, four-truck heavy-duty flat car, and the EMD GP9 diesel. The box car originally
sold for 89-cents in kit form for unlettered solid color models. Kits offered unlettered painted box car models in red, green
or silver. The first road names offered for the 40-foot box car model are: Burlington, Chicago & North Western, Lackawanna,
and Union Pacific. The fully decorated 40-footers sold in kit versions for $1.29 and were also sold ready to run for $1.98
each.
