HO 50' PS 5277 Box Car MEC #35163 (ATH-1377)

HO-scale 50-foot Pullman Standard box car for MEC, a detailed model that recreates mid-1970s Per Diem equipment. The car features a single 10-foot Pullman Standard door, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etch cross-over platform. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 profiles, is weighted for stable operation, and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and it’s designed to perform smoothly on HO layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius.

Primed for grime: the model replicates the look and feel of in-service cars, with faded base colors matched to the prototype and ready for weathering grime and rust. It reflects the mid-1970s era of 50-foot outside-post box cars, which varied door configurations to suit customers, making it a versatile and authentic addition to any HO railroad scene.
