HO PS 5277 Box Car SJL #8031 (ATH-1938)

An HO-scale Pullman Standard 50-foot box car in SJL livery, numbered 8031, designed for realistic operation on HO model railroads.

Based on the mid-1970s PS outside-post design that defined the per diem box car era, this model features a single 10’ Pullman Standard door, separately-applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etch cross-over platform for authentic coupler access. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for smooth, reliable performance, with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for dependable handling. The highly detailed injected shell is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and the car is tuned to run on minimum radii of 18 inches. This classic 50-foot PS box car reflects era-appropriate variations in door configurations and remains a recognizable addition to modern HO layouts.
