N 50' FMC DD Offset Box Car GWF #1144 (ATH-1764)

An N-scale 50-foot FMC DD Offset Box Car in GWF livery, this ready-to-run model is designed for model railroaders seeking a faithful representation of a 1970s FMC boxcar. It features a highly detailed injection-molded body, a scale-profile brake wheel, and accurate paint and lettering. The car ships fully assembled with screw-mounted roller-bearing trucks, machined metal wheels, and McHenry knuckle couplers, weighted for smooth, reliable operation on Code 55 and 80 rail. It can negotiate a minimum radius of 9 ¾ inches, and a clear plastic jewel box provides storage for the model.

Primed for grime: the finish recreates the in-service look, with base colors faded to match the prototype, providing a natural starting point for adding grime and rust. The prototype history notes that FMC produced the 50-foot outside-post, non-terminating-end box cars in the mid-1970s, with variations in door configuration to suit customers—a style that remains visible on today’s rails.
