HO 50' Offset Double Door Boxcar SERA #4030 (ATH-1957)

The HO 50' Offset Double Door Boxcar, SERA #4030 is a finely detailed model that replicates a type of boxcar that was commonly used in the mid-1970s, reflecting the rise of the per diem boxcar boom. The boxcar features a highly-detailed, injection-molded body that is painted and printed for realistic decoration. Built for durability and optimum performance, it is equipped with machined metal wheels that feature RP25 contours and is weighted appropriately to ensure stability on the track.

This boxcar comes with separately-applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, enhancing its realistic appearance. It is fitted with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, which facilitate easy coupling and operation with other rail cars. Designed for flexibility, the minimum radius required for this boxcar is 18 inches, making it suitable for a variety of layouts. The model is also primed for grime, featuring faded and dull-coated base colors that can be easily enhanced to simulate wear and age. The 50' PS cars varied in door configuration to cater to individual customer preferences, and models like this can still be seen in today's modern railroading scenes.
