HO 50' FMC 5077 DD Offset Box Car, TOE #2684 (ATH-1742)

HO Scale 50-foot FMC 5077 Double-Door Offset Box Car, TOE 2684 (ATH-1742) is a detailed HO model that reproduces a mid-1970s FMC box car for realistic operation on HO layouts.

Featuring newly tooled bodies with road-specific doors, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and brake wheel, plus a photo-etched cross-over platform and full underbody brake detail and piping, this model is weighted for smooth performance and rides on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. Body-mounted scale knuckle couplers ensure reliable operation on a range of layouts, while painting and printing deliver realistic decoration with a minimum 18-inch radius. A Primed-for-Grime option provides a starting point for weathering, duplicating the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors ready for grime and rust. The prototype history reflects the mid-1970s per diem box car boom, with FMC 50-foot cars offering varied door configurations to suit customers—a distinction still echoed on today’s railroading scenery.
