Below are photos of my Athearn boxcars. Athearn made "blue box" kits for years. These inexpensive kit provided many a modeler with their start into model railroading. Unfortunately, the blue box kit isn't made any more. However, Athearn has stepped up their offerings to more protoypically correct models with more details like metal wheels, knuckle couplers, separate grab irons and the like. Athearn is based in California, so tend to offer more western roads, but they do offer some Chessie paint schemes.
