The Atlas Product Spotlight - Z Scale 53' Evans Double Plug Door Box Car

The Atlas Product Spotlight - Z Scale 53' Evans Double Plug Door Box Car

Z scale is one of the smallest available model railroad scales at a ratio of 1:220. Atlas recognizes the growing interest in Z scale with track offerings and now its first rolling stock model. Z is an optimum size for modelers with space limitations.

The Evans 53’ Double Plug Door (DPD) box car was manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s by Evans Products. Commonly used for transporting lumber and paper goods, the RBL (AAR class for an insulated bunkerless refrigerator car with loading devices) classification also allowed for the transport of canned goods and other food products. The double 8’ doors eased the loading and unloading process of large cargo.

Due to their versatility the Evans DPD box car remained in service for many decades.
