O Scale Boeing Skybox Cars
 
By Golden Gate Depot
For the first time ever in O Scale, Boeing Skybox Cars arrive to represent one of the most specialized and visually striking freight movements in modern railroading. Designed to transport large aircraft components by rail, these unique covered flatcars feature tall protective hoods mounted over flatcar decks, shielding fuselage sections, wings, and other oversized aerospace assemblies as they travel between manufacturing facilities and final assembly plants.
From transcontinental movements to specialized unit trains, Skybox cars have become icons of modern industrial railroading. Golden Gate Depot brings these rarely modeled prototypes to life in O Scale with accurate proportions, correct flat car pairings, and premium detailing that make them a standout in any contemporary freight consist.
