TTX/FBOX '2004 As-Delivered'
About the Paint Scheme:
FBOX series 504000-504399 were built by Johnstown America from July 2004 to January 2005. TTX classified these cars as XJH52. At first glance, this paint scheme feels similar to what has been applied to the Trinity built cars, but everything is different. Most obvious is the TTX logo is smaller and justified to the end of the car. Railcar Pooling Experts is also much smaller and tucked away under TTX. All other lettering are different lettering styles. Mix these in with your existing FBOX fleet to add variety.History:
The Trinity 6275 Boxcar has been one of ExactRail's most popular freight cars. This boxcar has a very limited paint schemes list, but there are many 'very-close' freight cars with more varied paint schemes that we are excited to have worked with ExactRail to manufacture. These 'very-close' or brothers from other mothers freight cars are built by companies such as Johnstown America, Gunderson & National Steel Car. Some were built by Trinity but have a slightly different sized door than the 12 footer we have, or have exterior post placement variations.

About TrainLife Exclusive Freight cars:
ExactRail's dedication to accuracy means that they don't very often use 'stand in' tooling for projects that are close to a certain freight car (some people call these 'foobies'). We know that there are many holes in the modeling world and many people that are happy to have a stand in model so long as it represents something close to the real thing. We've worked closely with ExactRail to create close 'stand in' models to fill these holes.
