Reply To: Rapido USRA double sheathed box

[David Boeschen]

Now that I’ve looked at the Accurail USRA box (Accurail 4619), I’d agree. I haven’t tried carving off grabs on a car like this, but I’ll be doing that fairly soon. I can see it’d be easier than carving off ladders from a steel car. The model does have the vertical brakestaff, but if you’re going to carve off grabs, then adding an Ajax power brake won’t be that hard.

And yes, the lettering is quite good, for what I can see on the website.
