Prototype for Bachmann stock cars?

Posted by cmulligan01 on Sunday, December 4, 2005 2:53 AM

I have a couple of Bachmann Silver Series Humane Livestock cars. Is there a prototype for this car or did Bachmann make it up. It's lettered "Humane Live Stock Car H.L.S.X. 1".

The Bachmann Humane live Stock cars, I can not claim to have seen a real one. But I would imagine there were at least some built, because as far as I know. every bachmann model is based on some prototype somewhere.

As for their regular roadname stock cars. It is based on a UP Prototype Box Car that UP Rebuilt in the 40s from Old AAR style SIngle Sheathed Box Cars. Except that Bachmann added an extra letterboard for a railroad Logo. Athearn also sells this car but without the extra letterboard.
