Model Details

The Atlas HO ACF 60′ Double‑Door Auto Parts Boxcar tooling essentially shares the same running gear and body characteristics as other ACF 60′ double‑door boxcars from the Atlas Master line. Most of these releases we just decorated versions of the same model, so the features below represent what the #1670 tooling includes (even if #1670 itself is undecorated):

  • Authentically detailed body with double sliding doors (prototype style), recessed panels, and realistic side detail.
  • Prototypically designed roof and end details with crisp rivet and panel lines.
  • 70‑ton roller‑bearing trucks with blackened metal wheels for smooth running and realistic appearance.
  • Detailed die‑cast metal underframe adds weight for better tracking and reduces derailments.
  • Separate brake system and air reservoir detail molded under the car, adding prototypical accuracy.
  • Cushioned underframe with extended coupler pockets, helping with slack action and looks more realistic in a freight consist.
  • AccuMate® operating knuckle couplers (mounted by screws) — Atlas’s standard knuckle‑style couplers for reliable operation and compatibility with most other modern HO cars.
  • The sliding doors on most versions of this car are non‑operational (fixed in place) unless you do a custom modification; that’s common for most modern RTR boxcars.

Even though #1670 is undecorated, this Atlas model shares the robust Master Series features found on other road‑name releases. It’s a heavy, detailed, well‑rolling HO freight car that fits right into mid‑ to late‑20th century freight consists on your layout.

Prototype Information

The ACF 60′ Auto Parts Boxcar were large freight boxcars built by American Car & Foundry (ACF) beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s for service in the automotive supply chain and related freight.

Key characteristics of the prototype:

  • Length: ~60 feet — larger than older 50′ boxcars to suit modern freight needs.
  • Doors: Equipped with two large sliding doors (double‑door) to allow more efficient loading/unloading of bulky items like auto parts.
  • Build Era: Late 1960s through early 1970s production, primarily for North American railroads.
  • Use: These cars served assembly plants and parts suppliers nationwide, where accessibility and capacity were key.
  • Service Life: Many examples remained in service well beyond their initial build era, seeing use into later decades.

These cars were essentially a way to modernize freight service for the auto industry, replacing older, smaller boxcars with units that could handle larger, heavier loads with easier access thanks to the double doors.
