In 1974, Southern took delivery of 70 ton, 5277 cubic foot box cars from Pullman-Standard. Different from other cars of the IPD era, the Southern cars had a full set of "waffles"--stamped impressions into the car's side panels intended to accommodate lading equipment. Beginning with PS lot 9725, Southern Railway would eventually roster nearly 5,000 of these box cars. Found anywhere, the Southern PS 50' Waffle box car is the epitome of a signature classic!
By way of the Signature series, ExactRail offers authentic replicas of railroad-unique prototypes. Featuring the finest precision micro-tooling and finish-work in the industry, ExactRail's Southern 50' Waffle box car is a platinum quality model—complete with Kadee #58 couplers, coupler cut levers, numerous wire-formed and fine-scale details, accurate underbody details and ExactRail's exclusive equalized trucks. Distinguished by the prototype, ExactRail's Signature Series Southern 50' Waffle Box Car is an exclusive replica to be appreciated by all enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Thank you for your business and happy railroading!

Our passion for trains goes right to the bone. And so naturally following the show in Amherst, we couldn't resist visiting various eastern hotspots in search of information to support our research library. We were fortunate to be able to visit CSX's Selkirk Yard in eastern New York, Norfolk and Southern's Juniata Locomotive Shops in Altoona, PA and Conway Yard near Pittsburgh, PA. We also photographed Union Pacific's Ice Cold Express as it entered Schenectady, New York and visited the infamous Horseshoe Curves--a first for me personally. We stood in the cold, ate a lot of fast food, and took even more pictures. In short, it was great.
For those of you who enjoy railfanning, I've included some of our pictures from the event. Enjoy and happy railroading!

ExactRail unveiled five all-new releases at the Amherst Railroad Hobby Show!
In HO scale, we showcased the first models of our new Signature Series. By way of the Signature Series, ExactRail offers Platinum quality models of railroad-unique prototypes. Because manufacturers don't often venture into limited prototypes that are truly railroad specific, these replicas are offered as separate product line to showcase their exclusivity. Our upcoming Signature cars include the Southern 50' Waffle box car, the 40' Milwaukee Road full-length rib-side box car, and the Marine Industries Limited CP Rail 65' mill gondola!
Two new models were also unveiled in our growing N-Series as well. These include the N-scale versions of the Marine Industries Limited CP Rail 65' mill gondola and the very popular Thrall 3564 mill gondola.
Because we have only previewed these cars, we are not taking orders at this time. Please watch our blog or become an ExactRail Insider for all upcoming announcements. They will follow shortly.
For those of you with whom we had the opportunity to meet at Amherst, thank you for visiting with us. We enjoyed the show a great deal. If you were unable to attend, please look for us at other events or contact us directly at info@exactrail.com.

All-New road numbers!
The Pullman Standard 4427 low-hip covered hopper is a classic of North American railroading, and it is masterfully recreated for you by ExactRail. With an etched stainless steel roof walk, finely crafted brake rigging, separately applied air hoses, wire retainer valve lines, grab irons and coupler cut levers, we've left nothing to be desired . . . now or ever.
ExactRail precision engineers for performance as well, and our PS-2CD 4427 is complete with ExactRail's own equalized and prototypically correct ASF 100-Ton Ride Control trucks, precision CNC-machined 36" wheels, and now includes Kadee #58 scale knuckle couplers.
Never before produced in N-Scale!
Beginning in March of 1965, Gunderson built nine hundred 2,420 cu. ft. capacity gondolas for the Southern Pacific. With a straight, deep side sill, massive side stakes and a heavy duty top cord, these cars had a distinguished appearance without comparison. Southern Pacific implemented rebuilding programs for these cars on two occasions, which kept them on the rails well into the nineties.
ExactRail accurately represents this model from the full flute side panels to the dreadnaught ends. Never before offered in N-Scale, ExactRail's 2,420 gondola is the best performance and value in the industry.
Thank you for your business and happy railroading!

For the first time ever in N-Scale!
As the first-ever to tool an N-scale PS-2CD 4000! ExactRail continues its trend of innovation with this exciting new release.
Built between 1962 and 1964, the PS-2CD 4000 covered hopper is one of the earliest contemporary-type covered hoppers. Graced in the classic billboard-style paint schemes and designed with circular hatches, this car stands out from all other exterior post hoppers.
As the only N-scale PS-2CD 4000 machined and tooled in the United States, ExactRail is pleased to release this car with an all new list of innovative features, including: CNC-machined 36" N-scale metal wheel sets, etched metal roof walks, McHenry sprung knuckle couplers, fine-scale grab irons at the rook walk, brass trainline details, and the finest precision detail available.
We love what we do, and we value your support as we offer innovative new products to the industry in unprecedented fashion.
All-New Platinum Series Beer Car!
Beginning in 1977, Pacific Car and Foundry (PC&F) released a heavily insulated refrigerator car with internal, air-bag loading devices and 20" travel, sliding-sill underframe. These cars affectionately became known as "Beer Cars" for the refreshing cargo that they frequently carried.
ExactRail has engineered and tooled the most accurate version of the PC&F Beer Car ever! As the third release in our ground breaking Platinum Line, ExactRail's PC&F Beer Car is complete with exclusive features, including: stand-apart door tracks, separately applied door bars, wire-formed coupler cut levers, separately applied air hoses, stand-off brake rigging, drop down brake rods, wire formed brake clevis hangers, precision 'scale' draft boxes--which include shank-wedge, striker casting, cover plate and bolt details. As with all ExactRail products, the PC&F Beer Car is complete with CNC-machined metal wheel sets and ExactRail's equalized ASF 100 ton Ride Control trucks. With our new Platinum series Beer Cars, ExactRail satisfies your demands with the precision you desire.
Refresh your rollingstock with the most innovative manufacturer in the industry, update your rollingstock with ExactRail's Platinum Series PC&F Beer Car.
Factory installed Kadee couplers,
and 7 all-new paint schemes!
The Pullman Standard 4427 low-hip covered hopper is a classic of North American railroading, and it is masterfully recreated for you by ExactRail. With an etched stainless steel roof walk, finely crafted brake rigging, separately applied air hoses, wire retainer valve lines, grab irons and coupler cut levers, we've left nothing to be desired...now or ever.
ExactRail precision engineers for performance as well. The PS-2CD 4427 is complete with ExactRail's own equalized and prototypically correct ASF 100-Ton Ride Control trucks, precision CNC-machined 36" wheels, and now includes Kadee #58 scale knuckle couplers.
We love what we do, and we value your support as we offer innovative new products to the industry in unprecedented fashion.
Thank you for your business and happy railroading!
