Central Pacific's first home-built boxcars, constructed in 1864, were lettered in a striking block style. Boxcars were only given even numbers, because odd numbers were reserved for flatcars! This decal set is designed for Bitter Creek Models' K-20 25' Boxcar kit (not included). Letters three complete cars.
After 1865, the railroad switched to roman lettering, but photographs show that the 1864 batch lasted into the 1870s mixed in with the roman-lettered cars. These could be seen all across California, Nevada and Utah into the late 1870s and may have ventured east into Wyoming or Nebraska on the Union Pacific system.
Note this product is the decal sheet only. Model not included.

Made-to-Order Manufacturing
At 3DPT, every model is manufactured to order rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. This approach allows us to offer an extensive catalog while ensuring each piece is produced with the care and attention it deserves.
Most orders ship within 7-14 business days. However, larger models, complex projects, and high-volume orders may require 4-6 weeks or longer due to extended print times and production requirements.
While extended lead times are uncommon, they may occasionally occur during periods of high demand or due to circumstances outside our control. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our mission of preserving transportation history in miniature through high-quality, made-to-order models.
