My USA Trains 1:29 scale B&O 40' PS-1 "Time Saver Service" boxcar arrived yesterday. It is highly detailed all around and is about fifteen inches in length. Doors have nice prototypical latches that actually work. Decoration is first rate. This car matches the diesel sizewise better than the caboose. I am very pleased with this boxcar!

I am generally not a diesel fan, but I have totally had a blast with these units! The sounds are so well done. My wife is amazed I am having so much fun, knowing I am such a steam enthusiast! LGB did a great job with the decoration, power units and the sounds of these engines. I run these with a lab quality 3 amp, 0-30 volt switching mode regulated DC power supply feeding into a 5 amp PIKO throttle.

My boxcar was shipped via FedEx Air from PIKO's US facility in San Diego, CA and is out for delivery today! For those not familiar with this brand, it is a respected family owned German concern much like the original LGB. My DR BR 24 (close to 30" in length) is a fine example of their craftsmanship:
