WalthersProto HO Scale Express Boxcars (Converted Troop Cars) is based on widely used conversions. During World War II, when American Railroads{ passenger car fleets were stretched to the limits, Pullman Standard and American Car & Foundry stepped up and filled out the nation{s fleet. Essentially 50' boxcars on passenger-style trucks, the cars featured simplified interiors and were used by the military to move troops across the country. After the war, there was no longer a need for these spartan passenger cars and they were sold to several railroads at bargain prices. Most of the cars had their interiors removed and windows plated over for service as Express Boxcars. Many of these cars could be found on the headend of passenger trains into the 1960s. The WalthersProto models are available in three prototypical body styles (NYC, CB&Q and C&O versions) that include the following features:
 

  • Accurately modeled body with rivet seams, diaphragms and other details to match each prototype
  • Authentically detailed, high-speed passenger-style trucks
  • Correct RP-25 metal wheels
  • Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
  • Factory-installed separate grab irons and steps
  • Factory installed separate, non-opening side doors with or without windows as appropriate
  • Minimum radius: 18" (22" or greater recommended, 28" or greater recommended with optional buffer plates installed)

They have EVERYTHING and the best scale models selection within 150miles! Great family things to do too...race car track role-playing games. Trains and much more!

I needed something very weird for a 3d printer part and crossed my fingers when I went to this shop as they deal mostly with a different style of hobbies. They not only had the screws I need but also had something that I didn't know existed and was exactly what I needed to make my repair. They have my business now and I am excited to return for more items.

This place is awesome! They had just about every scale model manufacturer represented. Some of the decals in the huge drawers were out of production rare! The largest scale aircraft section between Little Rock and Kennesaw I have seen.
Half the hobby side is train stuff, and they have a large RC section. There was also a more thrift-type side that was interesting to browse. Just come and look!

Absolutely love this store. Am a kit builder and they have a wide collection of those, most any brand you can think of. I try and spend my money here as opposed to the almighty eBay or Amazon since I'd like to think I help keep this place open. All sorts and brands of paint to feed my airbrush. For non modelers, they have a phenomenal collection of RC, an inside slot car track, an offroad RC test track for smaller off road cars. An amazing collection of train models and trains. Ho type stuff. I'm not into those but they have a huge variety of this stuff. Then a bunch of collectibles and a card playing corner. Definitely worth a visit!

An amazing Mecca of rc/modeling hobby supplies and goods. The aisle of model paint will bring happy tears of elation to those who paint. Also they have an amazing crawler table set up for rc cars.

I have been a big fan of the store for a while, but the recent renovations are blowing me away. This is a great store full of every materials for all hobbies. Trains, RC cars and planes, models, games, and all the paints you could want. The staff are super friendly and will order anything they don’t have.
