  • Walthers O Scale Freight Car Kit Catalog
    WALTHERS O SCALE FREIGHT CAR KIT CATALOG NUMBERS Walthers 3800 series kits have wood body construction with cast metal ends, doors, with stamped brass ladders, roof seam ribs and other small metal parts. Their design dates from the late 1930’s when the late Bill Walthers began producing them. A model photo noted below is from a 1942 catalog. These model kits are largely generic, with some approaching certain prototypes. They are rugged models and if built with care and attention to details, they can present a good appearance. Walthers sold various milled roof types and car parts separately. From them, a modeler could build models of prototypes not found in the catalog. A free set of decals could be ordered with any kit. 3800 – 40’ 50t AAR box car, riveted sheet ends. 3802 – Twin dome tank car 8m-10m gallons. 3805 – PRR H30 two-bay covered hopper.
