Originally designed and produced by K-Line Electric Trains of Chapel Hill, NC in 1995, the 6400 series of box cars were clearly superior in many ways to any previously produced 6464 Series cars.
New metal details of seperate metal ladders and metal grab railings were superior to previous molded ladders and railings. It was now basically a completely re-tooled freight car with metal chassis, metal door guides, underbody details showing a prototypical airbrake system, operating couplers and metal wheels.
For 2012, RMT BY ARISTO-CRAFT will re-introduce the CLASSIC 64 Series of freight cars in the BOX CAR style. However, any previous K-line production of specific roadnumber will not be repeated allowing each railroad series to continue.
The RMT CLASSIC 64 Series will feature metal ladders, metal grabrails, operating couplers, stamped metal chassis, underbody airbrake details, diecast trucks with metal wheels and upgraded painting decoration that includes front/rear end data never before on a '64' Series box car style.
All CLASSIC 64 Series freight cars will be available as individual items and not as SETs. However, there will be 2 different roadNUMBERS available for each roadNAME as shown below.
NOTE: A new LIRR/LONG ISLAND boxcar will be available in late Spring 2012 as part of a 4 piece LIRR Freight PRO Set of BEEP diesel, Covered Hopper, Boxcar and Caboose. Each item will feature a new LIRR roadnumber that is different from previous production and also with enhanced LIRR paint schemes. Check website for delivery date and pricing when available.
