By the beginning of WWII, the majority of the classic USRA double-sheathed box cars and their clones were rebuilt with steel sides. More rebuilds followed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. By late 1948, close 14,000 of the original 24,500 USRA double-sheathed cars had been rebuilt with quite a degree of variation including the end, door and underframe. These steel side rebuilds were far more popular than their single-sheathed counterparts and make a great addition to the Atlas N scale product line.

Jim Hediger was a true ambassador to the freelance model railroad niche. Not only was he on the staff of Model Railroader Magazine for 43 years, but his own freelance model railroad, the Ohio Southern, was often used in its pages to captivate the imaginations of modelers! The Ohio Southern was shaped by Jim's passion for the DT&I along with his desire to freelance. This car is one which we are very proud to bring to the model railroad community! Based on DT&I paint and lettering standards, our Atlas USRA Ohio Southern rebuilt steel boxcar is gorgeous as it displays the OS compass logo in large fashion.
