N 50' Waffle Box Car DH #24068 (ATH-1894)

This N-scale 50-foot waffle box car is a detailed model designed to bring authentic North American freight operations to a layout. The waffle-style indentations on the sides mimic a real loading aid that helps secure loads quickly and efficiently inside the car, enhancing realism when you run freight trains.

On the track, the model features screw-mounted trucks for precise tracking and McHenry knuckle spring couplers for realistic coupling. It runs on Code 55 and Code 80 rails and comes packaged in a jewel box for display and storage, with razor-sharp painting and printing for a lifelike look and a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. In prototype terms, boxcars are enclosed freight cars, and the waffle design eased load securing—pallets could be forklift-loaded into the car and secured to prevent damage.
