HO 50' FMC 5077 DD Offset Box Car UO #1504 (ATH-1745)

HO-scale FMC 50-foot box car with double doors and offset ends — a detailed recreation of a 1970s-era freight car for HO layouts. This newly tooled model features road-specific doors and a full set of period-accurate details, including separately applied grab irons, end ladders and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etched cross-over platform. It rides on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, uses body-mounted operating scale knuckle couplers, and is painted and printed for realistic decoration. Minimum radius: 18 inches, and weighted for reliable operation, ensuring smooth performance on common layouts.

Primed for grime, the finish reproduces the look of in-service equipment, with faded base colors matched to the prototype and surfaces ready for weathering grime and rust. The model reflects the mid-1970s era when FMC produced 50-foot outside-post boxcars with varied door configurations to suit customers, and these cars remain a recognizable sight on today’s rails, making it a timeless addition to an era-correct roster.
