Stock Cars, also referred to as Cattle Cars, are a type of rolling stock used to transport livestock and larger animals between farms and other destinations. They were a common sight on railroads across North America from the late 1800s right up until the mid-1950s when trucking became more economical. The Bachmann 40′ Stock Car rekindles the heyday of these fascinating railcars with a selection of attractive and authentic paint schemes.
