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 N scale product line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Atlas USRA N 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\u003eOpening Door\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAndrews trucks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReady-to-run\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccurate painting and printing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccuMate® couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrake detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighly detailed body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimulated wood or steel door as per the prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFishbelly or Standard underframe as per the prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDifferent rib ends (7-8 or 5-5-5) as per the prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccuMate® couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Homeshops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54266652819731,"sku":"VM2886","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9283\/4323\/files\/HomeshopsVM.png?v=1781042605","url":"https:\/\/southeasthobbies.com\/products\/homeshops-atlas-vm2886-n-scale-usra-rebuilt-steel-40-box-car","provider":"SoutheastHobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
