Although the original design presented in 1923 produced in excess of 60,000 cars, it wasn't until a new design was presented in 1932 that the member railroads gave their approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter extensively testing five prototypes in 1933, over 14,500 cars were produced for twenty-three railroads throughout the following decade. This design soon evolved into the 1937, Modified 1937, and Postwar AAR box cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough not the most popular design produced, numerically speaking, the 1932 ARA Standard box car is considered one of the most important designs in railroad history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas HO Scale Rolling Stock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtlas HO scale rolling stock represents the pinnacle of decades of research and development, resulting in some of the most prototypically accurate model railroad products on the market today and includes a wide array of car types, from box cars, to passenger cars to cabooses.
