1937 AAR boxcars for Tennessee Central with Pullman patented flat panel roof and ends, 7-P Superior doors

While a little known railroad, the Tennessee Central shipped throughout the US and Canada.  This all brass model of the TC’s 100 cars numbered as Series 7900-7999, built in April 1941 under Lot 5655, is beautifully crafted by Boo Rim Precision, Korea, and embodies some very interesting components: the Pullman patented flat panel riveted roof, and the very unusual Pullman patented ribbed ends that rolled around the corners.  (note:  Pullman also built over 1,000 of the same car for the Wheeling & Lake Erie but with Youngstown doors, these eventually going to the Nickel Plate Road and relettered in 1949  -  See PC-3511)

All models come with brass Betterndorf trucks running on ball bearings and sintered steel rib back wheels with working journal box covers
