48060 or 85 Hiawatha Street, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, N5P 2T5;
www.yarmouthmodelworks.com. Yarmouth Model Works is offering a
resin kit representing a 1940’s vintage Northern Pacific 40-foot, wood boxcar of the 39000-39299 series. These box- cars had a capacity of 2,990 cubic foot and 80,000 pounds and had an “outside circular” radial roof which became common on NP freight cars. Dimen- sionally, the cars had a 40′-4″ inside length, 8′-8″ inside height and 8′-6″ in- side width. Externally the cars meas- ured 41′-0″ length over the end sills; 42′-11″ length over the running boards; 13′-5″ height over running boards and 9′-1″ width over side sills. These cars had 5′-6″ wide door open-
ings and a 24″×8″ end-door opening in their “B” end. The needle beams with queen posts for the truss rods were 8′-4″ apart and tilted toward the car ends. The original cars had L-section Andrew’s 5′- 4″ wheel base trucks with a concave curve along the top of the side frame. The trucks were on 31″-0″ centers. The brake gear used a three lever
system with a short lever mounted on a bracket near the edge of the left car
side. Many photos of the cars in service through the late 1940’s show a KC brake system. Freight car historian Eric Neubauer
advises that Northern Pacific acquired 19,650 boxcars of this 2,990 cubic foot design in 13 lots from 1904 to 1918 from five builders: Pullman Car Works (three lots), Seattle Car & Foundry (one lot), American Car and Foundry (two lots), Western Steel Car & Foundry (four lots) and NP car shops (three lots). Boxcars in four lots were built with steel center sills, and nine lots were built with all- wood underframes apparently due to a steel shortage during the war which re- quired that cars be built with a mini- mum of steel precluding the use of steel center sills. These 2,990 cubic foot capacity radi-
al roof boxcars were “signature” freight cars of the NP as they represented a whopping 70 percent of the NP boxcar fleet in service in 1921. An analysis of photos and listings in
the Official Railroad Equipment Regis- ters (ORER) shows the following num- bers of the boxcars with steel center- sills in revenue service: December, 1911 (0); June, 1921 (7,120); June, 1932
