{"product_id":"ath-1747","title":"HO 50' FMC 5347 DD Offset Box Car GWF #1179 (ATH-1747)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale 50-foot FMC DD Offset Box Car, road number GWF 1179, is a detailed model of a 1970s-era Food Machinery Corporation design used for per diem service. It features a newly tooled body with road-specific doors, separately applied grab irons, end ladders and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etched cross-over platform. A full underbody brake detail with piping, a weighted chassis, and 33\" machined metal wheels with RP25 contours help deliver realistic operation on HO layouts. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, along with authentic painting and printing, enhance the overall realism, and the model is designed to run on radii as small as 18 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe model is offered with weathering-ready potential in mind, featuring the “Primed for grime” look that mirrors in-service equipment with faded base colors matched to the prototype, making it a great starting point for adding grime and rust. The prototype history notes that the mid-1970s saw a boom in per diem box cars, and FMC-built 50-foot cars varied in door configuration to suit different customers; these designs still appear on today’s railroads, giving this HO model a strong sense of authenticity for dioramas and on-layout operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47906380087348,"sku":"ATH-1747","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1747.jpg?v=1781648065","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1747","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
