Although the original design presented in 1923 produced in excess of 60,000 cars, it wasnt until a new design was presented in 1932 that the member railroads gave their approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter extensively testing five prototypes in 1933, over 14,500 cars were produced for twenty-three railroads throughout the following decade. This design soon evolved into the 1937, Modified 1937, and Postwar AAR box cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough not the most popular design produced, numerically speaking, the 1932 ARA Standard box car is considered one of the most important designs in railroad history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas N Scale Rolling Stock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtlas N scale rolling stock represents the pinnacle of decades of research and development, resulting in some of the most prototypically accurate model railroad products on the market today and includes a wide array of car types, from box cars, to passenger cars to cabooses. In addition to being intricately detailed, Atlas N scale rolling stock features crisp painting and lettering, perfectly recreating the colorful paint schemes found on their real-world counterparts.
