HO 50' PS 5277 Box Car RFP #4014 (ATH-1371)

HO scale 50-foot Pullman Standard box car is a meticulously detailed model that recreates a classic mid-1970s freight car used in incentive per diem service. Designed for HO scale layouts and dioramas, it features a single ten-foot Pullman Standard door, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, along with a photo-etch cross-over platform for the couplers. Machined metal wheels with RP-25 contours roll on a weighted chassis for smooth, dependable operation, while body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded body deliver authentic appearance. The model is painted and printed to resemble in-service equipment and accommodates curves with a minimum radius of eighteen inches.

Primed for grime versions mimic the look and feel of real-world, in-service cars, with base colors faded to match the prototype and ready-made to add grime and rust. The prototype background reflects the mid-1970s shift to incentive per diem boxcars, including fifty-foot outside-post designs with varied door configurations to suit different customers. These cars remain visible on today’s rails, making this HO model a compelling choice for building a realistic roster on mid-century or modern-era layouts.
