Temporarily out of production

The United States Railway Administration took over the railroads in December 1917.
Standard freight car designs were developed to ease the car shortage. 25,000 single
sheathed cars were built between 1918 and 1920 and assigned to 26 roads. Too late for the
war, they served as a standard for a decade. All USRA SS kits now contain one piece body
castings and both K and AB brakes.

A recession after the war prevented some railroads from purchasing the cars assigned to
them.
Cars built between 10/19 and 1/20 were lettered Government Equipment trust and placed in
storage until they could be sold. Our kit models GET plus several dim data sets so that
roads
not covered in our kits may be modeled.
