Prototype History: 
The P-S 5344 Boxcar is last of the successful boxcar projects of the Pullman-Standard company. With production beginning in 1977, Pullman-Standard produced nearly 7,000 P-S 5344 Boxcars. In 1981, Pullman moved to sell all railroad assets in an economy of declining freight car sales. However, these cars ply the rails in legacy of America's great car builder. The last of a breed.
Road Name History: 
The Golden Triangle Railroad (GTRA) operates over 10 track miles in central Mississippi. The GTRA interchanges with Kansas City Southern (KCS) at Columbus, Mississippi, and with BNSF and Norfolk Southern (via the Alabama Gulf Coast Railroad) via trackage rights over the KCS. The GTRA serves a Weyerhaeuser modified fiber mill in Columbus.
The 10 mile GTRA was built in 1982 by Weyerhaeuser to serve their fiber mill in Columbus, Mississippi and connect with local class one railroads and shortlines. Weyerhaeuser sold this line (and several others) to the Patriot Rail shortline family in 2010. Traffic includes chemicals, corn starch and wood pulp. The GTRA owns a locomotive repair shop that holds up to 2 locomotives.

Brand/Importer Information: 
Fox Valley Models is a small supplier of
model railroad and related products. FVM
started by finding solutions to different
challenges that model railroaders were
faced with. Our first products resulted
from a need to equip custom built
passenger cars with tinted windows made
of an ideal material; thin, flexible, easy to
cut, simple to install, available in multiple
colors and be affordable. We met those
needs and even included a frosted
version for the car's lavatory windows.
Other challenges inspired additional products including wooden grade crossings, trestles and different lineside structures. As our product line expands, input and requests from friends and customers help shape the product selection further.
Future products, under development, include more parts, structures, details and rolling stock. We strive to offer a good quality product at an affordable price.
