Trackside Shunt Boxes
Type #1
Thank you purchasing our MAC-200 or 201 Trackside Shunt Box Type #1. This kit brings to your railroad an all-
too-common prototype detail not found on model railroads. These instructions will walk you through the
building and installation of this detail. Depending on which kit your purchases the boxes come painted in gray
or orange like the prototype with enough parts to make (4) shunt boxes. To maximize your time, we also
gloss coated the boxes to allow decaling once built.
Our kits are designed to minimize benchwork time and providing a prototype look. Enjoy the build!
