HO 50' Evans DD Plug Box Car USLX #12013 (ATH-1856)

An HO-scale Evans 50-foot double-door plug box car—a ready-to-run model that brings mid-century freight operations to life on HO layouts. This car features a double 8-foot plug door, separately-applied grab irons, stirrup steps, end ladders, a brake wheel and stand, and other detailed underbody parts. It rides on body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for reliable performance on most HO track. The model is weighted for steady pulling, finished with razor-sharp painting and printing, and designed to run on minimum radii of 18 inches.

Boxcars are enclosed freight cars designed to carry a wide range of loads, with plug doors that simplify loading. Evans Freight Cars trace back to U.S. Railway Equipment and were manufactured as Evans Railcar Manufacturing from 1964, remaining common through the 1960s–1980s. This HO model captures that era’s look and craftsmanship, giving layouts an authentic mid-century feel and a dependable performer for everyday operating sessions.
