HO 50' ACF Combo Door Box Car GN #36571 (ATH-1341)

HO Scale 50-Foot ACF Combination Door Box Car, GN 36571 is a ready-to-run HO model that recreates a classic 1960s boxcar. Built by American Car & Foundry, it combines a sliding door with a plug door for a larger cargo opening while keeping interior walls flush to maximize usable space. The GN road number adds authenticity for period-accurate layouts and dioramas.

Fully assembled and weighted for smooth operation, the model rolls on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. It’s precisely painted and printed for prototypical realism, and the injection-molded body captures the car’s detailed silhouette. The design accommodates an 18-inch minimum radius on layouts. Some versions historically used Hydra-Cushion or Keystone cushioned underframes and offered optional damage-free load dividers for more realistic, safer loads.
