Choose your own adventure! Purchase the undecorated kit to build your own PC&F 7633 Appliance Boxcar or use it as a platform to kitbash many of the other PC&F 60' boxcars that have not come to market yet.
In the 1970s, 60' high-cube appliance boxcars came onto the scene from multiple freight car manufacturers. Often confused as auto parts boxcars because of the similar size and appearance. Pacific Car & Foundry began delivering the 7633 cubic foot boxcars in early 1975 to the Milwaukee Road, Western Pacific and the Missouri Pacific system. Many cars were delivered with Air-Pak bulkheads. The 7633's were rated at 70-tons and were delivered with Barber S-2 trucks. PC&F offered a similar looking 100-ton version that featured one fewer panel on each side of the door. Railroads such as Missouri Pacific and Norfolk and Western received these.
Even though all railroads that purchased these cars were western or midwestern roads, they spent much of their time in points east. Many of the Milwaukee Road cars had return stencils for the Penn Central and the MP & WP cars were purchased for use at various General Electric facilities.
