3474 Lionel Western Pacific Boxcar

This boxcar was given to me as a gift by my brother-in-law. It's very clean and is a great addition to my layout. It has a painted figure that pops through the sliding doorway when the car passes over an activator track. The working couplers are set on sturdy metal trucks (see pic below.) There is a metal brakewheel attached at one end and the car has plenty of fine detail.
