N 50' FMC DD Offset Box Car GWF #1179 (ATH-1765)

This N-scale 50-foot FMC double-door offset box car in GWF markings is a ready-to-run freight model designed to reproduce a quintessential mid-1970s boxcar on an N-scale layout. It features a highly detailed injection-molded body, a scale-profile brake wheel, and screw-mounted, weighted trucks for dependable operation. The model rides on roller-bearing trucks, uses McHenry knuckle couplers for authentic coupling, and runs on Code 55 and Code 80 rail. Machined metal wheels, crisp paint and printing, and a clear plastic jewel box for safe storage complete the package.

In addition, a grime-ready finish reproduces the look of in-service equipment, with faded base colors that serve as a natural starting point for weathering grime and rust. The 50-foot FMC design, including offset doors, reflects a widely seen prototype from the era and remains a practical, visually authentic addition to modern layouts. With a minimum radius of 9¾ inches, it negotiates common N-scale curves smoothly and pairs well with other detailed rolling stock.
