HO 1:87 Scale Custom Weathered and Graffiti Burlington Northern 10024 Set of 2

Description

HO 1:87 Custom Weathered & Graffiti Boxcars — Burlington Northern BN 10024 (Set of 2) Turn any HO layout into a living, breathing railroad scene with this hand-finished pair of Burlington Northern boxcars. Each car started life as a clean factory model and was then realistically weathered and tagged to capture the look of hardworking BN freight roaming the rails in the 1970s–1990s. What you’re getting Quantity: 2 HO scale boxcars (matching BN road number 10024 on each side with different graffiti treatments) Scale: 1:87 (HO) Couplers: Standard HO knuckle-style (compatible with most brands); swap-friendly draft gear boxes Trucks/Wheels: Plastic trucks with metal axles (free-rolling) Approx. size (each car): ~7" body length (~8" over couplers) x 1⅜" wide x 2" high Finish: Custom airbrush/powder/oil weathering with hand-painted tagging Car A: BN cascade green with smiley face chalk mark & streaking/rust Car B: BN cascade green with “EAT AT JOE’S” side tag, faded logos, rain-rust streaks, grime on roof, door, and sill Note: Road grime, rust tones, and graffiti are sealed with a matte clear coat so they won’t rub off during normal handling. Why these cars rock Instant realism: Factory-fresh rolling stock looks toy-like. These cars add the sun-fade, dirt, and shop scars you see on the real thing—perfect behind BN, BNSF, or any run-through lash-ups. Conversation starters: The playful chalk-style smiley and “EAT AT JOE’S” tag give each side a unique photo angle for ops sessions and railfan shots. Operations ready: Free-rolling trucks and knuckle couplers mean they’re ready to drop into a train and run. Era & prototype vibe Railroad: Burlington Northern (formed 1970; later part of BNSF in 1995) Typical service: General merchandise, paper, food products—exactly the kind of boxes you’d see in mixed freights across the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and down to Texas. Era fit: Weathering level and graffiti place them nicely late 1970s through mid-1990s , but they won’t look out of place into the early BNSF years on secondary trains. Compatibility (plug-and-play) Works with Atlas, Athearn, Bachmann, Walthers, InterMountain, Kadee, ExactRail and other HO equipment on Code 83/100 track (Atlas, Peco, ME, Bachmann). Standard 22"–30" curves are a sweet spot, but they’ll negotiate tighter curves similar to other 50' boxcars. Great uses & layout ideas Spot one at an industry boxcar door and send the other in the road freight. Stage a yard foreground scene—graffiti sides out for photos. Use as photography props for locomotive glamour shots; the faded BN green makes colors pop. Add to a unit “paper train” or mixed manifest to break up a string of too-clean cars. Condition (please read) Used, custom-finished. The intentional weathering, fading, and marks are part of the artistry. May show minor layout handling from test rolls. What you see is what you get— study photos for the exact graffiti and weathering patterns on each side. Shipping & packing Each car will be individually wrapped , cushioned, and boxed to protect ladders, stirrups, and couplers. Combined shipping available—add more HO items and save.
