PCL-K151 - HO - SRC Ma & Pa Box Car Kit

Maryland & Pennsylvania 700 Series Box Car Kit — A Rare Survivor in HO Scale
In 1926, the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad gave new life to aging rolling stock by rebuilding select 200 and 500 series box cars into what became the 700 series. Measuring 36 feet 9 inches in length, these compact yet rugged cars served the Ma&Pa’s winding, rural routes with distinction.
Though most were retired long ago, three historic survivors remain: Nos. 713 and 723, still rolling at the Strasburg Rail Road, and No. 727, preserved by the Williams Grove Steam Association. These cars represent a rare glimpse into shortline ingenuity and Depression-era resourcefulness.
Now, you can bring that legacy to your HO scale layout with Paradise Car and Locomotive Shop’s meticulously detailed 700 Series Box Car Kit.  This model captures the unique proportions and character of the originals.
Kit features:
•  All detail parts included for accurate assembly
•  Correct panel and door detailing for prototypical realism
•  Trucks and couplers not included—choose your preferred components
•  Historically accurate thanks to archival research and preservation efforts
Whether you’re modeling the Ma&Pa’s winding branch lines or building a heritage freight consist, this box car is a must-have for fans of shortline history and authentic rolling stock.
