Pullman
Standard 86’ Auto Parts Box Cars
Bluford Shops
is proud to announce N scale Pullman Standard 86’
Auto Parts Box Cars in both Double and Quad Door versions.
These cars have injection molded plastic bodies, etched
metal details, operating knuckle couplers, accurately appearing
trucks and cushion draft gear enclosures.
These cars first
appeared in the mid-60s and are still in use today. Unlike
general service freight cars, auto parts boxes are assigned
to pools based on a mileage formula and often spend most
of their time off home rails. In other words, “foreign
road” cars usually out-number home road cars in a
given parts train to the point that if you missed the locomotives
passing, you would have a hard time telling whose train
it was! That makes for colorful and interesting trains that
are fun to model.

In the aftermath of the failed
application to merge with Southern Pacific, Santa Fe launched their “Quality
Service Network” with the goal of attracting premium rates for moving selected
priority traffic. They adopted a new variation of the Santa Fe logo with a
stylized “Q” surrounding the traditional circle and cross logo. This was applied
to the mineral red (nearly burgandy) paint job that replaced the Indian red used
for many years. This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers: 86361 single

For most of its history, the Ann Arbor ran 300 miles from Toledo through Ann Arbor to the coast of Lake Michigan at Frankfurt where through traffic was loaded on car ferries for rail connections across the lake in Wisconsin and Michigan’s upper peninsula. After extended periods of control by Wabash and then Detroit Toledo & Ironton, Ann Arbor adopted this image
featuring the “ferry in the fog” logo. This group of Greenville-built cars was
leased from Brae in 1978. This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers:

 Click
photo to see large view |
Rock Island received these quad door cars in the Summer of 1966. Auto parts traffic on the Rock Island was fairly significant with bridge traffic in addition to assembly plants located on line. Most of the “Granger Railroads” kept largely to one side or the other of a border stretching from St. Louis to Kansas City and on to Denver. C&NW and MILW for instance were to the north of the line while M-K-T and Frisco were to the south. Rock Island was the only line to have more or less equal portions on both sides of this line. Going from Minneapolis to Dallas? Rock Island was your single-line option.

Baltimore & Ohio received a large batch of these cars from Greenville in 1969 and 1970. Unlike B&O’s earlier batches of quad door cars, these came with unpainted natural aluminum doors and a pair of capitol dome logos on each side (one in yellow and one in blue on a yellow disk.) B&O’s auto parts fleet was lopsided in favor of quad door cars, reflecting the predominance of General Motors traffic on the line. |

Erie Lackawanna had a large fleet of double door 86 footers purchased from Greenville between 1965 and 1966.

86ft Double door Hi-Cube boxcar |
 Click

In January of 1969, when these cars arrived from Greenville, Chicago Burlington & Quincy was preparing for merger with parents Great Northern and Northern Pacific (and sibling SP&S.) New equipment was being delivered in Cascade Green with “BURLINGTON ” in the new style lettering and CB&&Q reporting marks. After the merger, they expected to add “NORTHERN ” and change the number. However, small changes in the lettering style led BN to abandon this plan and completely repaint the cars only when they came up for major shopping. We photographed one of these cars still in original lettering in California in 1996, 26 years after the BN merger! This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers. |

 Click photo

Detroit & Toledo Shore Line received this batch of cars from Greenville early in 1970. The D&TS was just 50 miles long linking Detroit with Toledo but was double tracked and handled a large volume of traffic. Grand Trunk Western and Norfolk & Western (formerly Nickel Plate) each owned a 50% interest in the line. N&W used it to reach Detroit and GTW used it to reach Toledo. It's position gave it a vital role in the movement of auto parts. In 1981, GTW bought N&W ’s share and merged the line into its system. These cars joined the GTW fleet, some remaining in this paint scheme for close to two decades. |

Louisville & Nashville received their last 86’
boxcars in 1977 and they were delivered in the Family
Lines paint scheme. The Family Lines consisted of
Seaboard Coast Line, L&N, Georgia, Clinchfield,
and the two lines of the West Point Route. The Family
Lines was not a single company, but rather a marketing
image. In 1983, L&N merged with Seaboard Coast
Line under the name Seaboard System and since the
two jointly controlled the other Family Lines roads,
they were included too. These cars are now part of
CSX’s fleet. |

After
a number of troubled years, M-K-T brought in John
W. Barriger III, a railroad turnaround specialist
who worked wonders for Monon, P&LE and others.
Barriger made new freight cars a priority and this
batch of auto parts cars delivered in 1969 was a direct
result. Several assembly plants in the sun belt served
by the Katy required them to contribute cars to various
86’ car pools. |

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
