PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Value Trains 40-008 — a fully assembled HO scale 40' PS-1 boxcar wearing Union Pacific's "Spirit of the Union Pacific" heritage scheme, the same striking red-white-and-blue livery UP applied to SD70AH locomotive #1943 to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. The PS-1 was the workhorse Pullman-Standard boxcar of the 1950s and 60s, and seeing one decked out in this patriotic scheme is a great way to pay tribute on a modern UP-themed layout. Crisp graphics, factory-applied details, and Kadee-style metal knuckle couplers come ready to run right out of the box.

FAQ
What does the "Spirit of the Union Pacific" scheme honor?
It's UP's tribute to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. The full-size SD70AH locomotive #1943 was painted in this red-white-and-blue scheme in 2010, and this boxcar wears the matching graphics so it can run as part of a special train on your layout.
Will it couple to my Atlas / Walthers / Athearn cars?
Yes — the metal knuckle couplers are Kadee-compatible and work with virtually any modern HO knuckle coupler.
Does it have metal wheels?
Yes. Metal wheels and roller-bearing trucks come standard, so it rolls smoothly and works with most track-detection systems out of the box.
Is this sold as a single car or in a set?
This listing is for one (1) single car. Some Value Trains heritage runs are also offered in 8-car boxed sets — this is the individual release.
Orders placed before 6AM EST ship same business day.

Squeaky’s Trains & Things LLC was founded in December of 2019. It was started by our family that has been in love with everything, trains large and small, driven by creativity since we were born. We grew up playing with model trains and watching, learning about and studying different aspects of magnificent locomotives on a daily basis and today we still do.
It also has helped us get through rough times while dealing with being diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Trains and creativity have always helped calm our daily lives while also becoming self-taught on making designs and artwork.
With this our family activity that grew into a really big hobby! We realized local train stores were barely available and we also wanted to start offering other model railroading fans our self-made creations for their enjoyment. We want to help the community around us by providing model railroad supplies and continue the legend of the greatest hobby on earth, model trains and railroading!
