In regular service they appeared widely in grain service through the 1960s and 1970s, with many examples still in use into the 1980s. Purpose built new rather than rebuilt, they represent the Canadian Government's request for Canadian Railroads to provide dedicated grain cars. Initially equipped with roofwalks, these safety features were systematically removed between 1974 and 1978 following regulatory changes in North America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNSC 40' Boxcars Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior Height 10'6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSC-3 Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6' Plug Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt 1954\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtched Detail Parts\u003cbr\u003eOne Piece 3D Printed Body (6' Door)\u003cbr\u003eUnderframe\u003cbr\u003e3D Printed Detail Parts\u003cbr\u003eCar Weight\u003cbr\u003eEtched Metal Roofwalk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Decal Set: Various - check with Black Cat decals or Highball Graphics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKaslo Shops Distributing kits come undecorated and require the modeler to supply trucks, couplers, paint and decals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaslo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42998737469536,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/1367\/files\/DSC_2702.jpg?v=1785114022","url":"https:\/\/www.kasloshops.com\/products\/hk-47-cpr-3900-cu-ft-nsc-40-grain-door-boxcar","provider":"Kaslo Shops Distributing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
