HO 50' Offset Double Door Boxcar Primed For Grime (ATH-1960)

The HO 50' Offset Double Door Boxcar is designed for model railway enthusiasts looking to enhance their collection with a unique piece representing a mid-1970s boxcar. This model is a prime example of the incentive per diem box car boom that witnessed the emergence of brightly painted boxcars, many of which were lettered for various short lines. Featuring a highly-detailed, injection-molded body, this boxcar is not only realistic in its appearance but is also painted and printed for true authenticity.

Equipped with practical features for functionality, the boxcar includes separately-applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, all designed for optimal performance. The body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers facilitate seamless connection with other rolling stock on the tracks. Additionally, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure reliability during operation. The model has a minimum radius requirement of 18 inches, making it compatible with various layouts.

This specific variation is primed for grime, featuring faded and dull-coated base colors that perfectly match the prototypes from their in-service days. It serves as an excellent foundation for enthusiasts to add realistic grime and rust effects, ensuring that this boxcar fits perfectly into scenes showcasing the essence of real-world railroading.
