Frank's Roundhouse - Stauffer's Disney Cookies
The boxcars on this page were a custom run done by Frank's Roundhouse for the D.F. Stauffer Biscuit Company of York, Pennsylvania. There are two basic boxcar colors - all white (the first three cars below) and white with yellow ends and roof (the last four cars on this page). Both included a variety of door colors/styles and all have half ladders. A knowledgeable collector stated there were about 50 of the white cars and 47 of the white with yellow ends and roof version made before Disney sent a cease and desist order. As a result, there may only be 100 of these cars in existence. It was also reported that Kris Model Trains likely assembled these cars.
